Bank Holiday pay for a p/t nanny??

[Elibean]

We have a newish p/t nanny/mothers help who normally works Monday mornings - obviously, we will pay her for Bank Holiday days, but if she chooses to work on one, do we pay time and a half? Or double pay?

My currently sleep-deprived brain has seized up over this one...please help me out someone!

For a nanny who works Tue to Friday, under the new holiday entitlement, instead of 4 weeks (so 4 weeks x 4 days = 16 days), the get 24 days pro-rata, which is 20.2 days (according to the BusinessLink Calculator) and will rise again in 2009 to 22.4 days. As most Public and Bank holidays fall on a Monday, those can't be taken out of the holiday entitlement.
If an employer with a nanny who worked Tue-Fri offered 4 weeks holiday, plus Bank Holidays... then it seems to work out at LESS days then statutory minimum, as there are not sufficient bank holidays falling on a Tue-Fri.

very true Jura - my job was orginally meant to be tue,wed and thur as thats what their previous nanny did as she did a nannyshare, I asked if I could do mon, tue and wed, one to get bh mons paid but also as a lot harder to find a mon/fri job then a thur/fri job

mb more than happy to swap, as before she didnt get bh mon paid as she didnt work them, and now she does - so we are both winners, plus she said it is nice to have work at beginning fo week.

Nick - how did you get to the figure of 20.2 days? Just curiuos. Working on legal min of 24 days in 2008, for a 4 day-week worker, it's pro ratad to 19.2 days, isn;t it? That's 80% of 24. I also checked it with the link you provided.

If you're offering a nanny who worked Tue-Fri 4 weeks holiday, plus Bank Holidays, that's 16 days plus 4 bank holidays (there are 4 bank hols occurring on non-Mondays in 2008) ie 20 days, which is more than 19.2.

I agree that in April 2009, the 4 day worker will become entitled to 80% of 28 days, ie 22.4 days as you say, so then 20 days would not meet the statutory min.

suspect it must be down to the holiday year start date. Think i used 1st may as start date.

Date was 1st July. Thus holiday start date is very important, and therefore you must calculate based on your individual circumstances.
