Annual Leave and the Road Traffic Directive

[Alfie Boy]

Help

Do anyone know whether the 4 weeks holiday stated in the RTD (driving hours regulations for HGV drivers) includes bank/ public holidays or not.

I don't seem to be able to find out from the VOSA website and from the Direct Gov it says
"If paid leave is given on a bank or public holiday, this can count towards your four weeks minimum holiday entitlement. There are eight permanent bank and public holidays in Great Britain."

Unfortunately no contract of employment so unsure how I stand for entitlement.

Any helps or suggestion appreciated

This paragraph came from the business link web site

The law does not entitle workers to paid leave for public holidays - this is left to individual businesses to agree with their workers. Some businesses agree to workers receiving paid leave for public holidays. As an employer, you may include paid public holidays in your workers' minimum leave entitlement.

Hope it clarifys your question
