I'm working Tuesday to Friday and on top of my holiday entitlement I get bank holidays. As I am part time, I get pro rated holidays and BH. To make it fair to those who have a different day off, everyone gets an entitlement for BH but we need to book them as holiday. So far, so good :)
Now what I don't understand is that as my BH entitlement is pro rated I will only get 4/5 of the 8 or so BH we have each year. If I need to book them off (which I will have to as we are shut on BHs) I will need to "eat" into my normal holiday entitlement to make up the rest of the bank holidays for which I don't get paid. I know that employers can force you to do this as they can dictate when I take holidays so technically they can make me do this, but surely it is discriminatory against part timers because full timers aren't forced to take their holidays at set times? This will mean I can't take as much time off as FT people? Or do I just take 4/5 of a day on a BH? It seems really silly, especially as I don't work Mondays!!!
