Please help me work out holiday for p/t job

[chicaguapa]

I'm going round in circles trying to work out a new employee's annual leave entitlement. She works 19.5hrs a week (full time is 37.5hrs) 9.30-4.30 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with 30 mins for lunch. Full time annual leave entitlement is 25 days plus bank holidays.

It all seems straightforward, but I have something in my brain that says she needs an adjustment to take account of the bank holidays she won't get off as she doesn't work on those days.

Can anyone help please? We don't have an HR department and I'm the Office Manager so in charge of annual leave. Thanks.

19.5/37.5 x (25+8)

she gets pro-rata bank holiday's added onto her holiday leave.

As chasingsquirrels said. Also note that if a bank holiday falls on her working day (ie Xmas day or new years day) then she'll have to use one of her days annual leave for that. My annual leave and 'part time bank hols entitlement' ate shown as sep balances but I use then interchangeably.

I work part-time and get my holidays pro-rata plus bank holiday entitlement calculated separately and use them as silver28 does.

Not sure how the bank hols get worked out, although as far as I am aware I get the additional bank holiday entitlement for the bank hols that are on days I don't work, i.e. I work Weds-Fri and therefore am not at work on any of the bank hols that fall on a Monday and so get extra hours (although not 7 hrs per bank holiday) to compensate for not actually benefitting from the bank hols on these days.

Have never had to take annual leave for bank hols that are on days that I do work though, afaik they are bank hols that I am entitled to take and I should benefit from them in the same way as everyone else and not have to use my own annual leave. However it might be the case that this is what I'm supposed to do but as no-one as told me to I'm not going to start know!

Where I work, it is done on no. of days worked rather than actual hours, so will be 3/5 x (25+8) and then as silver28 says re bank holidays.

Thanks. I've opened a bit of a can of worms as it looks like my entitlement has been calculated wrongly, to the extent that I actually have too much! Ooops!

If it's done the way we do it at work, then the entitlement for the year will be 3/5 x (25 + 8) = 19.8 (presumably rounded up to 20 days). What is the holiday period? I don't think that there were any bank holidays on a Tues/Weds/Thurs so there is no need to deduct any entitlement to cover bank holidays. Therefore entitlement for the year will be 20 days (or 6 weeks & 2 days) - enjoy

I think Xmas and new years day are bank hold though so could fall on what is normally a working day. I keep two sep balances: annual leave (25 x 3/5 as I work 3 days per week) and bank holidays in lieu (8 x 3/5). If a bank hol falls on my working day I take it from my bank holidays in lieu balance. To the extent that it isn't used on bank holiday days I use it whenever Iike, like my annual leave. If I worked on Mondays I would orob find that I used all of my bank holiday in lieu entitlement (plus poss some annual leave?) on bank holiday days, but I don't (partly for this very reason).

Diff firms might have different policies, I work for a large professional services firm so imagine they use a fairly standard approach.
