Millions not getting paid leave


One in 14 UK workers are not getting their legal holiday entitlement, according to TUC analysis. Calculations show that nearly two million employees are not getting the minimum paid leave entitlement they are due, and over a million are not getting any paid leave at all.


The study shows that women workers (8.3%) are worse affected than men (5.9%). The sectors with the highest numbers of staff losing out on their legal holiday paid entitlement are education, retail and health and social care.
