New starter holiday entitlement

6 replies

peachweach · 29/09/2021 19:48

I've just started a new full time job and am trying to work out what my holiday entitlement will be until the end of the year.
The holiday entitlement for the whole year is 33 days (including bank holidays) but we have to work bank holidays (can book them off using holiday if needed).

Our holiday year runs 1st Feb-31st Jan and I started yesterday (28 Sept). Could any clever person tell me how much my holiday entitlement will be for the rest of this year (until 31st Jan)? I've tried looking at a few different calculators online but they're all giving me different answers.

Thanks in advance!

HR should tell you what you have for the rest of the year.

There’s a calculator online somewhere, I’m on my phone so can’t look for it but it’s a .gov one I think.

Surely its 33/12 = 2.75 days a month, so until end of Jan you would have 11 days?

I agree with *Rrob.

I used to calculate everybody's leave as part of my job, always making sure to round pragmatically as necessary.

33 days includes bank Holidays. How many bank Holidays in a year (deduct from 33) and how many between the date you started and the end of January? (Add back on)

So eg 33 - (number of bank Holidays in a year) = x. ÷12 = x. + the number of bh between start date and end of January.

They have said that bank holiday are normal working days, so it is more straight forward that that. A simple pro rate should do it, 33 days a year, they are doing a third of a year = 11 days.
