I am delighted to be able to inform you that your annual leave entitlement increases to 24 days from 1 October 2007 and there is a further increase to 28 days from 1 April 2009. The increase is pro rated for the current leave year and you are then entitled to 24 days' annual leave for the new leave year beginning on 1 April 2008.
Your holiday entitlement set out above is inclusive of any time off for bank holidays.
I will contact you again in [March 2009] to remind you of the increase in your annual leave entitlement for the leave year running from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010.] |
