Holiday leave entitlement based on grade - HR question.

At our place you get more the longer youve been here. Soonce youve been here 2 years you then get an extra day per year up to a ceiling. Just how it is.

That's odd. We all get the same holiday which increases after 'time done'.

Same here. My place gives 22 days for bands A-B, increasing by 2 days every 2 years up to a maximum of 28. And 25 days for band C and above, also increasing to a maximum of 30 days.

I thought it was fairly standard to have benefits increasing in relation to grade/band?

At my work (Uni as well):

Grades A - I: 23day annual leave, 2 additional days after 5 years service, 8 public holidays and 7 University closure days

Grades J and above: 25days annual leave, 8 public holidays and 7 University working days

So, I guess after 5 years here, everyone gets the same.

We get more holidays if we've been here a certain amount of years.

It's perfectly fair I think. Presumably her salary will increase because it's a more senior role, so this is just another perk of the job. Some jobs give you company cars for example as a perk of a more senior role.

As long as the employer is giving the minimum allowed by law (which it's exceeding anyway) it's not doing anything wrong.

In my place leave is dependent on grade and length of service. Managers tend to get more leave as generally it's a more stressful job plus they won't necessarily always get the same level of benefits as employees lower down the pecking order. For example, we have a flexi time scheme but higher up managers aren't eligible for it so they are given extra leave.

Legally you are only entilted to 20 days (28 inc bank hols), anything over and above that is at your companies discretion including giving more days to senior staff or to longer serving staff.

My company have all diffirent leave entitlements depending on what contract you are on, length of service and if you buy any holiday extra

I think that I went up from 27 to 32 days plus bank holidays this year, as I went up to a certain point on the pay scale. Doesn't matter though as I'm not going to be able to take it all ☹️
