What is Annual Leave - 20 Days Minimum?
The UK's Working Time Regulations 1998 guarantee every worker a minimum of 5.6 weeks (28 days for full-time) of paid annual leave per year, with the first 20 days (4 weeks) deriving from EU law and the remaining 8 days (1.6 weeks) added by UK domestic legislation.
Why it matters in hiring
Annual Leave - 20 Days Minimum comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
