Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Changes to statutory holiday entitlement is the most immediate piece of regulation to affect the industry, with paid holiday increased to 4,8 weeks per year from October 2007. This will then increase further to 5.6 weeks from April 2009. Typically, for an employee working a five-day week this will mean 24 days' paid holiday. James Backhouse reminded delegates that paid holiday should be based on average salary, not basic pay, and that bank holidays could be included in the entitlement.
