Bank hols

[strawberrycrumble]

Hi Im sorry if this has already been covered, I have read a few similiar topics but I am confused. I am returning to work next week 3 days per week, Tues, Weds, Thurs, so all of the bank holidays fall on my days off anyway. My company give you bank hols additional to your holiday entitlement, so a full timer gets 28 days per year and bank hols on top of that.
Where do I stand with bank hols? is it just tough because I dont work them to begin with?
Thanks for reading

You should get them pro rata.

There is a calculation companies use to work it out so you get your fair share of bank holidays no matter what days of the week you work.

I haven't got the formula with me - your HR department should be able to explain it (if you have one?).

Where I work you get them pro rata, so you would get 3/5th of the holidays. There are 8 (I think a year, or 9 this year because of the wedding) so you would get 4.8 days added to your annual leave entitlement (or 5.4 days with the wedding day). Bear in mind though that if Christmas or new year fall on a day you work you will need to book them off out of that entitlement.

Yes you get them pro rata, so as Choufleur says, if a full timer (usually) gets 8, you as someone working 3 days a week should get 3/5 of that. 8/5x3= 4.8, so you round it up to 5.

You'd have to take any bank holidays that fall on your working days out of that of course.

Have you not had a letter confirming your new working hours and holiday arrangements?

I do exactly the same days and hours as OP and I get 60% of all bank hols - usually an extra four or five days per year on top of my annual leave.
