    Gosh, I’m quite shocked at the UK. They are not ally pretty good for workers rights.

    The worker in Australia may have accrued long service leave. It’s a seperate entitlement that means younger 3 months leave at once,.on top of holiday entitlement, after working somewhere for 10 years.

      Older contracts and union deals can be quite good in the UK. I would bet if this company doesn’t have a union that newer employees would be limited in the number of days they can transfer to the next year, likely less than a week.

      No no, this was multiple old guys and in addition to long service leave, they just never took leave.

      For the UK I think the policy is in support of worker rights, in a round about kind of way. If you let people pay it out then they might never take leave and won’t get the benefits of actually having had a break from work.
