Ok, I know this has been done to death, and if you asked me, I would be confident that I am right (although always some room for doubt ), but I think my HR manager has got it wrong in relation to my PH entitlement. Can someone in the know please double-check my calculations?
I work 25 hrs of a 40 hr week, doing 6.25hrs a day for 4 days a week (a full day is 8 hrs). This year we get 11 public holidays.
I think that as I work 4 out of 5 days, I therefore get 4/5ths of the public holidays which is 8.8 days, rounded up to 9 (for a 6.25 hr day).
My HR manager has said that I get my PHs pro rata (correct) and has said that he works it out at 11 days, divide by 40 multiply by 25, which is 6.8 days rounded up to 7 days.
My argument is that whilst it is correct that we get public holidays on a pro rata basis, part of the pro rata element is that I am being paid for 6.25 hours a day, rather than 8.
I explained to my HR manager, to illustrate the point, that if I worked my 25 hrs a week at 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, I would therefore get every public holiday off, but would be paid for only 5 hours for each PH, - he disagrees, and says in such a scenario he would still calculate the number of days at 25/40.
Surely this is wrong?
