Holiday entitlement

6 replies

LowMaintenance101 · 13/07/2017 08:51

I'm really hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.
I'm returning to work and will be doing 40 hours, but over 4 days.
10 hours per day Monday to Thursday.
Everyone else in the office works 40 hours over 5 days.
The holiday entitlement there is 22 days plus Bank Holidays.
How is mine likely to work?
And what about Bank Holidays? Surely I won't get all Bank Holidays.
Please help. Don't want to look like a fool when it comes up.
TIA.

You'll get the same as everyone else, but calculated in hours - 176 hours hol and the equivalent BH. You're not a part time employee if you're doing the same hours as everyone else

Thanks for the reply Agent.
I'm not sure what you mean by the equivalent Bank Holiday...

It means that each bank holiday is a further 8 hours off. When there is a bank holiday your colleagues automatically get 8 hours off - you would need to have 10 hours deducted from your annual total so the result is going to be fewer days that you can have as annual leave.

Your colleagues get (22+8)x8 hours off a year, so should you =240 hours

In most years 7 of them will be on your work days (obviously good Friday never will. Christmas and new year will sometimes be fridays) so over the next year that is 70 of your 240 hours accounted for, remainder 170 hours so you should have 17x 10hr days as your annual leave.

Due to dates of Christmas and new year, assuming annual leave is calculated over calendar years, then in 2020, 2021, 2026 and 2027 there will only be 6 bank holidays on your working days so you should have 18 days of annual leave, but your total paid time off remains the same as your colleagues who work the same hours over 5 days.

If the annual leave year has a cutoff anywhere other than the 31st December then 2 of these years will be normal with 17 days and 2 will have 19, but the end effect is still the same.

Ah! Thank you both so much!
Just one last question.
When Bank Holidays fall on a Friday, does that just not affect me?

Yes, calculated over the calendar year.
Again - thanks so much. Can always rely on MNers!
