Being incredibly dimwitted here but I can't work out holiday entitlement for a part-time role.
If it were a full time it would be 20 days + 8 bank holidays
The part time role is working 3 hours per day, 5 days per week. How much holiday therefore would I be entitled to a) For the first year (accruing, starting next month - holiday year runs 1st April to 31st March) and b) Total for full year?
I've been told it will be 8 days per year but my simple brain can't seem to get around this as the role would be working 5 days a week (albeit it just 3 hours per day). If anyone has the calculations for this, I'd really appreciate the breakdown.
Thanks!

@Aprilx I have said in my original post and the one above that I work just 3 days a week, but 5 hours per day.

If you do not start the contract until June/ July time,I don't think you are entitled to a proportion of BH' s that occurred before you started so the April/ May ones of which there are 5.
The other ones will be pro rata'd.

No need to convert into hours if you work for the same number of hours five days a week. Your entitlement is the same as the full time entitlement - 20 days plus 8 Bank Holidays. But that means 20 of your short days, rather than the longer days that FT staff will do.
Your employer's calculations are correct if they are basing it on a 37.5 hour week. Your FTE is 0.4 (15/37.5) and 0.4×20 days = 8 days. However, the entitlement needs to be converted back to hours before you can take it, so 8 ×7.5 hours = 60 hours. Which is the same as 20 of your days.
You can disregard the bank holidays as you work 5 days a week and can just take them as usual.

OP's workplace contract specifies bank holidays separately.

She'd be entitled to 28 x 3 hour days though not 20 which would give 84 hours which matches the 5.6 weeks x 15 hours calculation (also 84 hours)
