Scope: 1.6 weeks is what REGULATION 13A states for a settled leave year, and it is not the statutory minimum on its own: the four weeks of regulation 13(1) are Annual leave: basic entitlement (weeks) and the familiar 5.6 is their sum, published as the derived companion Annual leave: statutory minimum (weeks). Regulation 13A(3)'s 28-day cap on the aggregate is a third figure (Annual leave: maximum days) and bites before 5.6 weeks is reached for anyone working more than five days a week. ONE value only: regulation 13A(2)(a) to (d) phase the entitlement in across the leave years from 1 October 2007, and those periods wait for a parser that can read a block insertion. Regulation 26A disapplies regulation 13A entirely where the employer already gave 1.6 weeks or 8 days by a relevant agreement as at 1 October 2007.

Compiler's notes

An SI carry (ADR-0014): SI 2007/2079 reg 2(2) INSERTED regulation 13A whole — the same insertion that carries the 28-day cap — so there is no value-level substitution for NF-1 to re-derive and the inserted text has no provision ids in the amender's own document. The evidence is the pair: the 1998 Regulations' current view and SI 2007/2079 as made, both hashed and recomputed at Gate 2. This is the corpus's FIRST scalar ratio: 1.6 weeks is neither money nor a whole count, and ADR-0013 put ratio in the vocabulary for exactly this. The locator carries paragraph (2)(e)'s own leave-year clause because "1.6 weeks" also stands twice in regulation 26A.
