Does anyone else get this little holiday?

In my job, if you work full time (which I will be in a few weeks), you're entitled to 10.5 days annual leave a year including bank holidays. That seems very little, I only have six this year as I've been part time until next month. Can this actually be right??

That seem very little I work 33 hours a week so not completely full time and get 27 days plus bank holidays

chipsandpeas · 05/07/2019 20:43

thats below the legal miniumum unless there are other reasons like a complete shutdown

MoreSlidingDoors · 05/07/2019 20:43

You’re legally entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks leave including bank holidays.

Are there shut downs that account for the rest of your leave?

SwedishEdith · 05/07/2019 20:44

It's not right, no.

LBOCS2 · 05/07/2019 20:44

Yep, legal minimum is 28 days including bank holidays.

JeSuisPrest · 05/07/2019 20:44

Assuming you're in the UK, then www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights

bathorshower · 05/07/2019 20:44

Are you in the UK? In which case MoreSlidingDoors's comment applies. If you're in the US, I think anything goes, and I don't know about other countries.

Mum2jenny · 05/07/2019 20:45

Are you in the UK cos that’s not legal!

illnever · 05/07/2019 20:46

I thought it was below the minimum,

It literally says 'The (company's name)'s holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December.
The full time equivalent annual leave
entitlement is 252 hours per year including bank/public holidays for those working 35 hours per week. Confused

BritInUS1 · 05/07/2019 20:48

252 hours is not 10 days though

35 hours a week is 7 hours a day

So 252/7 = 36 days

RoomR0613 · 05/07/2019 20:49

Yes 252 is 10.5 days if you consider a day to be 24 hours.

Most working days are not 24 hours long though.

Perhaps redo your sums OP Grin

Quartz2208 · 05/07/2019 20:49

Yeah I would redo your maths if that is what they say as I make that 36 days including bank holidays which seems a pretty good

How do you get 10.5 252 at 7 hours a day (which is what a 35 hour week is) is 36 days

Cuppa12345 · 05/07/2019 20:50

Haha, this thread is hilarious! 😂

RoomR0613 · 05/07/2019 20:50

quartz I suspect the Op has googled 'how many days is 252 hours' and google has politely replied with the correct answer

illnever · 05/07/2019 20:50

I'm so sorry; I'm currently on mat leave and have severe baby brain.

Thanks everyone!Grin

Quartz2208 · 05/07/2019 20:52

Yes RoomR0613 that makes sense I could not work out what she had done!

Quartz2208 · 05/07/2019 20:53

THough shockingly if she were in the US it would be a normal amount of holiday (indeed some offer none)

Gymbabes · 05/07/2019 20:53

Ah bless you!

What a result though to find out you have that much holiday compared to what you thought x

Dyrne · 05/07/2019 20:55

Sorry OP, baby brain sucks, but this is hilarious! You’ve given us all a chuckle, at least Grin

Juells · 05/07/2019 21:14

Never mind illnever it's happened to most of us 🤤

Somerville · 05/07/2019 21:19

Lol, OP Grin. That has given me a much needed laugh.

We’ve all been there, love. And I’m glad you get plenty of holiday.

Nannymacshe · 05/07/2019 21:25

The way to work it out is this 252 /35 =7.2 hrs per hour you work per week

Nannymacshe · 05/07/2019 21:26

So if you work 20hrs per week it’s 7.2 x20 =144hrs

Cuppa12345 · 06/07/2019 11:55

Or

Your hours divided by full time hours times by the fte leave...
Seems easier to me but maybe swings and roundabouts

20/35x252

Nannymacshe · 06/07/2019 12:45

The way I have put it is the way it is worked out so that p/t employees are not disadvantaged. Union rep so have had to do this many times for members. Must say the holiday entitlement is good compared to some.
