i am a manager at a site that's covered by the agricultural wages order in Scotland.(which i admit i didn't previously know about such an order).
we give our employees 4 weeks and 9 statutory days holiday a year.
now, one of the employees has got hold of a copy of the wages order and has demanded that she gets 5 weeks holiday, that is an extra week on top of what she gets already . the wages order states that employees should get a minimum of 5 weeks and 4 special days holiday. a week being a period of 7 consecutive days.
also, our employees work on the statutory days and get paid treble time or double time and day in lieu.
i have a meeting with our hr department in a couple of weeks, in the meantime has anyone have any ideas on the possibility of having to give an extra weeks holiday on top of what's already given?
this can't be right, surely?

should help you (this is a new one for me). On the face of my very quick scan through, your employee could well be correct.
Good luck.
