Can an employer legally spend your holiday time for you according to UK law?
Find answers to your legal question.

my employer wants to give us 4 days of holiday after christmas, however they have said that two of these days will be removed from your "holiday days". i didnt have any plans to spend these 2 days, so is this legal or illegal and if so, which law(s) says so?

Yes they can.
If the factory/office/shop is closing down for a period they can take that from your holiday entitlement.
It is pretty standard practice in manufacturing and others.

Yes. It is very common for companies to shut down over christmas and take the days out of your holiday allowance. Sorry.
