Bank holidays if you don't work Mondays?

[daffydowndilys]

Eeekkkkkk I am an employer of 2 people, one of which works Tuesday-Friday.

Is the norm to give them a day off or what?

I have tried to google it and can't find the answer.

Bank holidays are included in her annual leave so surely, she can use them for when she needs?

If the bank holidays have been included within her holiday hours then if she wants the bank holiday off (assuming you are open that day) then it would come out of the holiday hours.

And I just mean the bank holidays that don't occur on a Monday. As they don't work on a Monday you don't need to think about the bank holiday mondays

What do full timers get? Do they get more than the statutory minimum of 28 days? If they get more then your part timers should get a pro rata amount of holidays too

I work part time and there is a complicated calculation on our annual leave entitlement that gives us some extra annual leave for bank holidays that fall on our days off. Not a whole day for every bank holiday though.

This is what you need...

I don't work Mondays and get a pro rata bank holiday entitlement back. If you think about it everyone is entitled to the bank holidays if full time so that employee is too but just a pro rata amount not as much as the full timers

Most full timers will get their holiday allowance plus bank holidays. So it would be a pro-rata of that policy really. At my work all key timers get full bank holiday allowances plus a pro-rata of full time holidays. So often adds 8 full days to holidays. Which is fine for us.

I get my bank holidays pro rata.

The bank holidays are calculated pro rata and included in my holiday allowance. No need to give your employees and extra day of you already do this.

I don't have any full time staff, just 2 part timers and me. I used the government calculator for their holiday entitlement so hopefully it's all correct.

My employer's policy says I get a proportionate share. So if I worked 80% FTE (like OP's employees), then I get 80% of one day off the same week (call it 6 hrs), just on a different day. When I change to pattern = Monday-Friday I have to make up the 20% extra time I got by the offices being closed but I wasn't entitled to (need to work an extra 20% of one full one day).

That's what I read, but whether my manager will see it that way is unclear.

What holidays do you offer I.e. just the minimum or more than that?

I get proportionate leave and by the formula above I get three more days than 4/5 leave entitlement. Like the OPs staff I work Tuesday to Friday.

She should have 4/5 of the bank holiday added into her leave entitlement which she can use whenever she likes.

Like wise, on a Friday bank hol, if she is not required to work, she needs to book the day off using her leave allocation.

No one is entitled to any bank holidays unless it says do in their contract.

So if a person works full time and there contract states they get 28 days holiday inc b/hols then if the office is closed on a bank holiday they have to use one of their holiday days.

If a person works tues-fri they get 4/5 of that entitlement so 22.4 days (rounded up). So on a week with a bank holiday on a day they don’t normally work it doesn’t affect them.

It depends if she offers holidays plus bank holidays on top as they can include bank holidays within the statutory entitlement so it could just be 4/5 of 28 days being offered.

For working 4 days the statutory entitlement would be 22.4 days. Bank holidays can be included within those days rather than being over and above that.
