Bank Holidays and compressed hours

[bonfireheart]

I work 10 days over 9 days ie my 72 hours over 9 days rather than over 10 days. I have every other Tuesday as my "non working day". Would this affect my Bank Holiday entitlement given that I am still working my contracted hours? Or affect my annual leave entitlement? Thank you.

It won't affect entitlement but I would expect you only to be paid 8 hours each bank holiday rather than ten

Or however the maths works out :)

I’d expect your annual leave to be calculated in hours, and you have the same annual leave hours as when you worked the normal pattern.

You'll have exactly the same number of hours of leave as if you worked a standard pattern but each day off will cost you more of them. For that reason, I think you'll use up a bit more of your leave on bank holidays than you would have, as you'll use 8 hours of leave for each one instead of 7.2. Or at least that's how I think it works for me.

Bank holidays aren’t special.

If you were previously working 72 hours over 10 days and are now working the same number of hours over 9 days, then your total holiday entitlement won’t change in terms of how many hours you get off, however the number of days you get off will reduce, as you’ll get more hours for each day of annual leave.

When you changed, wasn’t the impact on your holiday explained to you?

Thank you so much.

Nope :( our HR is outsourced, genuinely no way to contact them. Everything is done on a portal. I went on and requested compressed hours, my line manager approved the request. All our annual leave is booked via a spreadsheet that is a PITA to amend anything on. I didn't want to find out later that it does affect my leave or BH entitlement and get told I owed them time back. We don't even have timeshares, but I might set my own up and log hours work and hours taken off cos agree with PP think leave is now in hours rather than days. Thank you.

*timesheets not timeshares!

So you need to look at your total annual leave incl bank holidays and pro-rate it

For example, if you would normally get 22 days leave plus 8 bank holidays, that’s 30 altogether. This means you now get 30 / 10 * 9 = 27 days off.

You will need to allocate the bank holidays from this (7 or 8 days depending on whether the Xmas Tuesday bank holiday falls on your non working day), which would leave 19 or 20 free days to take

Does that make sense? You might end up with a random couple of hours to take depending on the maths

I work the same a 9 day fortnight get the bank holiday off . Our working week is 36 hours .
So on 9 day fortnight I work 8 hour days 32 hour one week 40 hours 2nd week.
I get the BH off 8hours my entitlement 5th of working week 7hours 12mins .
Get 48 minutes debited off my A/L
