Annual leave entitlement question

1 reply

I am just about to sign a contract for a new job. In the interview phase I was offered 25 days annual leave (A/L) plus UK bank holidays, pro rata as I'm part time.

The contract states:
Your annual leave entitlement will be 25 days.

In addition, you are entitled to the following public holidays where these fall on your normal working day: (lists usual holidays)

Should any of the public holidays listed above not fall within your normal working pattern, you are entitled to additional days holiday in lieu.

If you are a part time worker your total annual leave entitlement will be calculated in hours including bank holidays. Your entitlement will be pro rated based on your normal working hours if a bank holiday falls on your normal working day these hours will be deducted from your entitlement.

I'm confused by the last paragraph - it reads (to me) like the bank holidays are included in my 25 days, not in addition to. am I entitled to 25 days pro rated plus bank holidays, or does the 25 days pro rated include bank holidays??

This is what I get, although I have to book my own bank holidays off.

The full time entitlement is 25 days plus bank holidays. You will get this pro rata depending on how many hours you are working and will get it as one "lump" in hours.

They will automatically deduct/book off bank holidays from the leave allowance if it falls on your normal working day.

When you book leave you will have to book it off in hours.
