Annual leave starting part way through the year

[domton]

Hi there.

I started a new job April 1st, holiday year runs Jan to Dec.

Basic holiday of 28 days including back holiday. They've worked out my annual leave as 3/4 of the basic days, so 15 days. Because the 8 bank holidays fall after I start, this leaves me with 7annual leave days. Surely they should have worked out 3/4 of the 28 days as that is the legal minimum? I can't work with just 7 days off until Christmas. :/

Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

This is what they have. Definitely wrong.

21 days including any bank holidays ( so Good friday, Easter monday, 2 x may holidays, august holiday, christmas day and boxing day ) there are 7 bank holidays between 1st april and 31st december
21-7= 14 days

do they close between christmas and new year? and so have counted 27th, 30th and 31st ( maybe 23rd /24th as well) as compulsory annual leave

because your work are allowed to decide when your leave is legally

so 14 - another 3-5 minus your 1.5 days annual leave booked this week leave 9.5 -7.5 days

Legal requirement is 28 days per annum, you have missed 4 months of this years leave therefore you are entitled to 21.1 days leave inc bh until 31/12/19.

I think if they closed between Xmas and new year, then it would be listed on that as they’ve listed the bank holidays.

That definitely looks wrong.
