Employment/holiday question

[Redrupunzle]

Hi, hoping someone can help me with some wording in my contract. I've recently started a fixed term part time job.

Your holiday entitlement is 11.2 days (inclusive of bank holidays)

My working days do not include Monday's or Fridays and in fact my department is closed on bank holidays anyway.

So can I book 11 days worth of holiday? Am I supposed to take bank holidays into account? How does it work?

Thank you. Sorry I'm ignorant, previously I've only worked full time so this is new ground

In UK there are 8 bank holidays, it means you're entitlement is 3.2 days (if a working day is 7 hours you can take 1.4 hours, i.e. a dentist app or something) Tues-Thurs a year.

I work less than a full week, and the number of days I have each year excludes bank holidays.

Check this though:
www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights

It looks like you should get a minimum of 16.8 days leave a year. The bank holidays which are included in your leave means you must be paid for them.

I have a similar contract - I have to book a day of my leave if the BH is one of my working days but if it isn't then I do not. You don't get an extra day off but neither do you lose a day's leave. Your wages will be the same as if it's a booked day you will be paid, if it isn't a working day for you then you won't. Simples??

So does that mean when there's a bh, say the August one I'll get paid for it? A full extra day in that pay month?

Or because xmas/boxing/nyd fall on my working days to I discount the other bhs and use 3 days annual leave for those ones? Leaving me with 8 days of 4 weeks worth?

@junglesepa is wrong here. As you don't work Mondays, the bank holidays are irrelevant.

You're entitled to book 11.2 of your working days - so you can have 11 days Tues-Thurs
Bank holidays are irrelevant as you already don't work them

Is the 11.2 days per year, or for a fixed term of less than a year?

You should get the same number of weeks off per year as the full timers at the same company, so if everyone else gets the statutory minimum, ie 5.6 weeks/28 days, you should also get 5.6 weeks a year, which would be 3 x 5 plus probably 2 days, so 17 days per year. But you will have to use some of these for any days that a BH falls on one of your working days, ie Christmas.

You will probably be paid 1/12 of your annual salary each month, with no variation for the number of days worked.

Yeah it's for a fixed term for part of the year.

I think it makes sense now

I don't need to worry about Monday's. I use 3 days for xmas/boxing/nyd and the rest is mine to take whenever. Right?
