Hi
I went from full time to part time about 7 years ago. I now work 3 days per week.
The owner of the company at that time generously continued to give me 20 days holidays, a benefit I have had for 7 years now.
His son has now taken over the company and has started asking about this arrangement with a view to changing it.
I normally have about 6-8 days untaken at the end of the year which I carry over to the following year. For example I am starting this year with about 28 days.
For a 3 day week, 28 days plus 10 bank holidays, works out almost 13 weeks of holidays available to me this year, hence why my new employer is looking at it.
The new owner has been running the company for 3 years now and has been aware of this since he started and has not mentioned this until now.
My question is, do I have any options if my new employer decides to change this and only give me the statutory pro-rata holiday entitlement? Does the fact that I have been receiving these employment conditions for 7 years mean that he cannot change it?
Thanks for any guidance.
