Holidays on reduced hours

[ChablisLover]

Hi

I work reduced hours and was told i have 12 days holidays for the year.

What I want to know is that 12 days holidays based on the 7.5 hour working day my firm has or is that 12 days holidays based on my working day which can vary between 5 and 6.5 hours. Does it go by an hourly rate in that I am entitled to 90 hours leave (12 * 7.5 hours) and then how it is used by my days is immaterial as I am working on a hourly leave scale.

My boss says they will get back to me but I want to know from a legal statutory basis what the basis is and what I am entitled to.

Based on an hourly basis, it would mean I am currently entitled to an additional 8.5 hours leave rather than my current leave balance of zero days left.

Thanks for all and any advice on this

if you were working full time how many days holiday would you get?
I would work it out in hours so say contract for full time person says 25 days holiday and working week is 40 days long, they would get 25*8 hours holiday over the year (200 hours).
You work 6.5 hours so you would get 6.5/40 * 200 hours - ie 32.5 hours holiday for the year.
Substitute your own figures in here as you didn't say how many days you work.

If I was to go on what you said above I would assume that it would be 12 days at the no of hours you normally work not the full time equivalent.

Mine is done in hours. I currently work 16 hours a week so if I want a week off I book 2 days (15 hours) and work an extra hour the week before.

I work part time, but 3 full days, so slightly different situation to you OP, but my allocation is also in hours, as is my BH allocation.

If working full time I would get 20 days plus bank holidays

I got 12 days this year as only started. So joined when leave year already started. I think I am entitled to 15 days this year. That's still be confirmed.

I work in total 29 hours compared to everyone else's 36.5/37 hours.
