I have worked for the same small company more than 10 years, returning part time after mat leave. I will work 2 long shifts during the week, Monday and Friday to suit the company, plus some weekend rota, averaging 25 hrs per week. Full timers have a full day off each week, and get 22 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays.
Manager is saying that I get 2/5 of the entitlement (which I dispute, it should either be 2/3 as I work 2/3 of the hours, or 1/2 as I have to take 2 days in order to get a week off rather than 4 for the full timers) The weekends are a bit of a red herring, they get shuffled around everybody's holidays so you don't take annual leave to have a weekend off.
He is then saying he is taking any BH that falls on a Monday or Friday off my entitlement, as I will be paid and won't work them. So he is saying I get 2/5 of 30 - 7 = 5 days annual leave.
That means I can take 2 weeks or long weekends ( since a fri-mon would cost me 2 days holiday) in a year, the stat minimum is 5.6 including bank holidays.
I'm in such a muddle with it but it certainly doesn't feel fair. If I worked Tues + Wed instead I'd be getting 2/5 or 1/2 of 22, so 9 or 11 days.
Thanks in advance if you read that far, and advice please!
