Hi
I wonder if anyone can offer any advice or info. I am currently on maternity leave and looking to go back part-time, three days a week. Proposed days are Wed, Thurs, Fri. I have enquired with HR about the holiday entitlement and pro-rata bank holidays which I assumed would be the norm but apparently not. Because I will not be working a Monday (when 4 out of the 8 bank holidays fall) I will not be entitled to them. Am I right to feel a bit peeved? Is that not unfair and unequal treatment of a part-time employee?
I have done a bit of research but i don't think there is any obligation for my employer to give pro-rata bank hols (I have found a test case where the employer was not found in breach of the legislation) but on the directgov website it says an employer should!
I work for a large employer (a university) - any ideas about how I might tackle this issue. I'm seriously thinking I'm daft not to work Mondays?
Many thanks
