That's ********.

How does time that is owed because i has already been worked count
as
holiday? It's just working unpaid overtime and getting time off in
lieu.


Of course its not actual holidy, but it makes for a much more
sensationalist headline if you call it holiday.
A headline saying they'd got 29 days holiday + bank hols + time off in
lieu would be far to near the truth.


They should either have said 37.5hr week and 52 days holiday or 35hr
week and 29 days (or however many it is)
