Holiday entitlement is typically calculated based on your employment contract and local labor laws. For full-time employees, the statutory minimum is often expressed in annual leave days. To calculate, multiply the number of days worked per week by the statutory entitlement (e.g., 5 days/week x 5.6 weeks in the UK = 28 days). Part-time employees' holidays are usually prorated. Check your contract or company policy for specific details to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
