Annual leave when working days increased

12 replies

cabininthewoods2016 · 30/08/2019 12:59

Looking for a bit of advice.

Have recently increased my days at work from 3 to 4. When working 3 days I had 16 days plus bank holidays. I have increased to 4 days as of this week and received a letter to verify my salary increase but no mention of annual leave increase.

Our annual leave is Jan 1st - Dec 31st so 4 months to go. Increase in days is also an increase in hours by 8 and annual leave is calculated by day not hour at our work.

I thought I would be entitled to more holiday days.

TIA

How many days do full timers get?

How many bank holidays do you get currently? What holidays do full time staff get?

The minimum holidays for working 3 days would be 16.8 and the employer could count bank holidays within that figure. For 4 days it would be a minimum of 22.4 days

The increase should be calculated from the point you stepped up days til the end of your AL leave. There's a good gov.uk calculator somewhere, have a look and take it to HR.

Thanks for the replies

We all get standard 5.6 x days worked per week and public holidays on top of that.

When I worked 3 days I had 17 days plus 9 public/bank holidays (Scotland)

So full timers get a total of 37 days? I’m that case working 4 days a week you should get 29.6 days total, including your pro rata entitlement to bank holidays.

In that case, not I’m that case!

It doesn't look like bank holidays were given pro rata before though. Did you really get all the bank holidays when only doing 3 days?

dementedpixie · 30/08/2019 16:26

So would you get 22.4 plus 9 bank holidays giving 31.4 days?

cabininthewoods2016 · 30/08/2019 16:38

Yes very generous employers.

Business closed on public/bank holidays and holiday allowance is 5.6 x days worked. I just thought I might be entitled to an increase for the last 4 months of this year.

So if I am understanding it right. The difference in annual leave entitlement (not including bank holidays) between working 3 days and 4 days is 5.6 days. Pro rata for the last 4 month's of the year is 1.8 days. Contact HR and confirm the extra entitlement has been added to your leave.

3 day week entitlement is 60 % of 28 days 16.8 days
4 day week entitlement is 80% of 28 days =22.4
your entitlement 2/3 of year at 3 days = 11.2, 1/3 of year at 4 days = 7.46

total days due for 2019 18.66 so you should get another 1.66 days ie a day and a half really

did you just get bank holidays if you worked that day so if you worked mondays you got bank holidays on a monday off, but if you don't work mondays you don't get a day in lieu so depending which days of the week you work depends how many bank holidays you get
that might even itself out as full timers obviously get all BH but part timers are unlikely to be working every BH in this case wroking mondays would be an advantage as more BH are on Mondays than others days

cabininthewoods2016 · 30/08/2019 17:58

Yeah if you normally worked that day then you would be off, no days in lieu.

Thank for the advice will speak to hr on Monday
