Annual leave entitlement?

[GM21]

Hi

Can anyone help...

I am about to start a new job working 4 days a week (Monday - Thursday)

My new employer hasn't confirmed my annual leave entitlement yet and I want to know as I want to plan some holidays but need to know exactly how many days I'll be entitled too as I am not 5 days a week

If your are a full time employee working 5 days a week you get 25 days leave + the bank holidays off additional

What would I receive working 4 days a week Monday - Thursday

(Leave is calculated jan-dec - please just base this off the leave being calculated for the full year)

Thanks for any help in advance!

I have the same working pattern/allowance and I get 20 days plus bank holidays. Some places will pro rate bank holidays though.

If you work 4 out of 5 days (ie 80%) you should get 80% of your leave entitlement = 20 days. But if you don't work Fridays, then you only need 4 days leave to have a week off.
Bank holidays shouldn't be an issue for you as you work mondays. It gets complicated with people who don't work mondays as bank holidays.

If its 25 + 8 for full time (33 days) then you'd get ⅘ of 33 days = 26.4 days

You'd then deduct any bank holidays that fall on your working days and then the remaining days are days of your choice

You will likely get 0.8 of the full time equivalent but you also need to take into account when the holiday year starts and ends.

Or you could do it as ⅘ of 25 = 20 and ⅘ of 8 = 6.4 = 26.4.

As mentioned, some places will just give you bank holiday Mondays off and others will give you four fifths of total bank holidays. This varies from year to year.

Yes you should get 20 days plus bank Holidays. That's exactly what I get working 4 days and the normal entitlement is 25 days

20 days annual leave. Bank holidays are discretionary so it will depend what your contract says about how they’re calculated. Different employers have different rules

For a part year there are also different accrual rules at different employers eg some you will accrue when the bank holiday occurs and some will average them over the year.

Thanks for all your quick replies!! I thought it was 20 and that seems to be the common answer, if it's 26.4 - any bank holidays I get on my working days then that's 19.4 (I read online your leave is rounded up to the nearest full number so would my leave automatically then go to 20 or 19.5?)

Thanks again!! X

Only your employer can tell you what they round it up to

On my contract, it would be 20 days AL plus 4/5 of the (usually) 8 BHs (9 this year).
However working Mondays is bad in this scenario as 4 of the 8 regular BHs are ALWAYS Mondays except this year . 1 is always a Friday. 3 (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Years Day) move each year.
If a BH falls on a Monday then you can't work, as workplace is closed, but you are only entitled to 4/5 (or 80%) of your working hours. So each BH, you have to use up 1/5 (20%) of a day from your AL to cover it.
So, I choose not to have Monday as a working day, so every BH is therefore and additional 4/5 (80%) of a day's leave for me, but means you have to use up some of your AL each time.

I work for the NHS and would get 26.4 days if our allowance was 25 days plus bank hols, oart timers get it in hours though so would be 198 hours.

I work 4 days mom - Thurs and get 30 days pro ratad down to 24 days . Then I’m entitled to 80% of bank holidays . It depends how many fall on a Friday as to if I lose half a day or gain half a day . This year there are 2 on a Friday out of 9 so it pretty much leaves the holiday at same.

Like others likely to be 20 days but that might be reduced for starting in feb depending on how your leave year runs.

There are 9 bank holidays this year with one already done so you’d get 0.8 of 8 where I work which is 6.4 and you’d have 6 falling on working days for you.
