Up until this week I've loved my job. My colleagues are great and I enjoy doing a good job.
Until yesterday when I found out that I was losing almost 2 weeks of holiday. This was presented as a fait accompli and I should just accept.
The reasoning behind their decision is because of the way they calculate bank holidays for part time staff. Full time staff have their annual leave paid and also their bank holidays paid on top of that so 33 days in total of paid leave. In the past part time staff have had these 33 days pro rata which when rounded up was 20 days, with the expectation that when a bank holiday arose during our work days, we would use one of those days to make it fair on the full time staff.
They have now decided to take the 5 days pro rata bank holidays off us and just give us a bank holiday when one arises during our work days. However because I don't work on Mondays I will miss most of them. Can they my employers give 33 paid days of leave to full time staff and only 16/ 17 to part timers and can they just change a contract like that?
All advice much appreciated as I think I'm too annoyed to be rational at the moment.
