A worker on five days a week accrues 28 and is unaffected. This is the only statutory annual-leave figure stated in DAYS — the two pots themselves are stated in weeks (`employment.working_time.annual_leave_weeks` is the regulation 13 four) and the familiar 5.6 weeks is their sum, which is arithmetic and a separate record. From 1 January 2024 regulation 15B(4) puts a separate 28-day ceiling on an irregular-hours or part-year worker's accrual; that is a different provision for a different class of worker and is not this record.",

The evidence is the pair: the 1998 Regulations' current view, where the value is today, and SI 2007/2079 as made, the frozen witness that put it there. One value only: nothing preceded this cap, because nothing preceded regulation 13A.",
