As the economy recovers and the job market becomes more buoyant, the amount of annual leave an employer allows its staff can be a cost-effective way to retain talent. XpertHR is investigating annual leave provision among UK organisations and is looking for new research participants. By sharing your organisation's holiday practices in this confidential survey, you will receive a free copy of a report on training line managers to manage absence effectively, emailed to you on completion of the survey, and a summary report of our annual leave findings as soon as they are published.Annual leave - big data

- 43% of employers have the same holiday arrangements for all employees;
- the median number of days given to full-time employees as paid annual leave is 25;
- holiday pay is usually calculated at 1/260th of basic salary (a full calendar year excluding weekends) but many employers use other formulae; and
- almost half of employers had changed the annual leave entitlement in the previous three years, either to reflect good practice or to become more competitive.
