For traffic HR - part time, holidays and bank holiday question!

[gustofwind]

We have an employee who works Tues-Fri.

As a company we give 20 day holiday plus bank holidays - so 28 days, which is minimum requirement.

How do I calculate his holiday allowance for the year?

4 x 5.6 = 22.5? Then do I 'take out' the 3 bank holidays that don't fall on a Monday, OR am I cocking everything up altogether. What happens to the Mondays that are given to all other members of staff?

Thanks in advance...

In my firm it would be calculated as 28 days *4/5

Those days would then be his total annual leave requirement to take and some would need to be used on good Friday, Christmas etc.

No you don't take anything off. They just get more choice over which holiday days to take I.e. they are not restricted to a bank holiday monday like the staff who currently work on a Monday.

I would work it as:
28 x .8 = 22.5 days
If they want a BH off they take it out of their overall entitlement.

I work 4 days a week. I previously got 24 days plus bank holidays when working full time. I now get 27.5 days which includes time for me to use to book off bank holidays (which we don't work)

Some public holidays fall on days they work, others won't. They are only entitled to be paid for 80% of the total of the bank holidays - regardless of the days they fall on - because they only work 80% of the time.

The bank holidays should come out of their entitlement which is 28 X 0.8. So things like Good Friday which will fall on a day they work will have to come out of their 22.5 allowance.

Ahhh, yes I see.

Thanks to everyone who've replied.. So helpful..

Cedar that means that effectively I do deduct the 3 days BH from 'balance' of 22.5 days allowance then, yes? So they can do what they want with 19.5 days holiday and they have the bank holidays off...?

I'm struggling today! haha

A FT employee has 28 days holiday, but has to use 8 of them for bank holidays. So they have 20 days to take when they like.

This employee has 0.8 x 28 = 22.5 days holiday. They will need to use some of these days for xmas day, boxing day, NYD and easter friday - the number of these would vary from year to year. So yes, you would deduct these days from their holiday entitlement. And the rest they can take at will.

He gets 22.5 but how many of them fall on bank hols will vary year to year. If Christmas and NYD fall on Mondays he'll be able to flex more of his BH allowance. Set it at 22.5 to include whatever BHs fall on his work days.

I work for a large company and everyone who works PT has annual leave worked out in hours. We get a total allowance for the year, and the system automatically takes 7h off (or whatever our normal working hours that day are) when a BH falls on our working day.

Similarly, conceptually, your other staff have 28 days' leave, but 8 of those days are automatically "dealt with by the system", i.e. ignored.

Give him 22.5 days and either set something up to take bank hol hours off his total each time, or make it compulsory that he books them like other leave.

Amazing! Thanks everyone!

I work 4 days and am entitled to 80% of bank holidays . As I work mon - thurs I usually go over so 1/2 a day is deducted . Some years I get an extra half day added if Christmas / new year falls on a Friday .
