Now I recently changed to another company (100 employees) which offers 10 days RTT. So thats one less week of holiday a year Anyway, what determines how many RTT days? Are "big companies" likely to give more and small ones less? By the way, I find I am working a 50 hour week (start at 9 finish at 8 - although lunch time is flexible) and personally I am thinking of I would be better off with a strict 35 working week and less pay and holiday! Theres not a lot of the evening left after work! Rob    Report

RTT is determined by how many hours you work each week after the statutory 35 hours.  The amount is determined by statute not the size of the company, although there may well be exceptions for small companies, though 100 employees is not classed as small!  How it is worked out I'm not exactly sure but there is an official 'formula'! 9am till 7pm is not unusual though, with a long lunch break, although 8pm seems a bit harsh!  In the UK I often worked 9 till 6pm with just an hour lunch and I only got 4 weeks holiday with no RTT - I love RTT.
