Holiday question part time

[smiler01]

Hi

My work have given me 4 weeks holiday like all the full timers get except based on the 3 days I work so 12 days plus bank Hols.
Some bank Hols fall on days I don't work so obviously I dont benefit from them days.

My question is if someone can help, they shut down for 2 weeks over Christmas and the full timers save 3 days holiday. Were In work on Monday xmas eve then shut down till we return on wed 2nd jan. Due to the bank Hols falling on my working days (I work mon-wed) I only seem to need to save 1 days holiday for Monday 31st jan. I looked at next Xmas and id need to save 2 years and eventually when the bank Hols fall on my non working days I'd have to save a few more

Is this correct and right way to do it? the problem is I do payroll and am incharge of dealing with people's holidays etc so there isn't anyone else to ask and the director isn't sure himself.

Thanks in advance

I work 4 days a week and all my holiday and bank holiday entitlement is converted into hours (pro-rata) and then I book Annual Leave whether it is a bank holiday or a normal days holiday. If it is a small company you could split the two sets of hours in to normal leave and BH leave and jsut dip into the correct pot for the hours to take.

The best and most accurate way of doing it is to roll all your holiday up so you don't distinguish between 'normal' annual leave and bank holidays.

So if full timers where you are get 28 days including bank holidays, you should get 28/5x3= 16.8 (rounded up to 17) days including your fair share of bank holidays.

Then, whenever a bank holiday happens to fall on a day you would otherwise be working, that needs to be deducted out of your total, the same as normal annual leave would be.
