Working out part time pro rata holiday entitlement

[ElphabaisWicked]

My maths is failing me.

I understand that holiday entitlemtn is 5.6 weeks per year and that if you work 2 days a week it is 5.6 times those 2 days.

What I can't work out is what is the entitlement if you work a term time only 37 weeks a year contract.

[ruddynorah]

Full time is 28 days. So you need to work out 37% of 28 days, that gives your term time only equivalent, then you need 40% of that seeings as you do 2 days out of 5.

[ruddynorah]

I make it 7.7 days by the way.

[Uglymush]

37% can't be right shurely it is 70% = 37/52.14 and then you need 40% of that. So 8 days per year

[ruddynorah]

No I got it wrong. Too tired!

[ElphabaisWicked]

That can't be right. I need to find out what percentage 37 weeks is out of 52 don't I?

[Uglymush]

37 weeks of 52.14 weeks is 70.9%.

Are the 15 weeks you're not working unpaid or is your holiday in there too?

[LIZS]

You may find that your "holiday" is built into the weeks for which you are paid but effectively you take it in school holidays so you receive pay for 40ish weeks but only work 37. Are you paid over 12 months ?

[ElphabaisWicked]

Its me that is going to be doing the employing. Employing someone to work at after school classes for 37 weeks per year. Hourly paid but a regular amount of hours per week.

I reckon I have it that they will be entitled to 3.97 weeks per year. Is that correct.

[KatieMiddIeton]

Well it depends when this holiday is expected to be taken. Do you expect them to work the whole 37 weeks the school is open or take their holiday in that 37 weeks?

[ElphabaisWicked]

They will work the 37 weeks and the holiday will be taken in school holiday time much the same as a teacher. Everyone else has always been self employed but for various reasons this person does not fulfil the s/e criteria so I'm trying to keep it all fair and legal.

[LIZS]

So you pay them the equivalent of 41 weeks' work
