Most workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid holiday a year (28 days for someone working 5 days a week).

When a worker leaves their job, the employer must pay for any unused holiday. This is called 'pay in lieu'.

Statutory holiday entitlement builds up (accrues) as normal while an employee is off sick, no matter how long they're away.

You multiply the number of days worked per week by 5.6 to get your annual entitlement.
