Part-time term-time only holiday calculations

[Butterfly2105]

I have started a new job but I don’t understand my holiday calculations

My salary is pro-rota for the number of hours I work. This is then pro-rota for the number of weeks I work plus holiday entitlement. I understand how this part works.

The issue I have is with how my holiday weeks are calculated as I feel that I have been deducted twice for working part time.

The weeks I am entitled to have been pro-rota for the number of hours I work when my salary has already been reduced for this. E.g if I was able to book annual leave and I received 6 weeks holiday then I would be able to have the equivalent of 6 weeks off regardless of whether I am full time or part time eg 3 days a week or 5 days a week as my salary has already been reduced.

However I am only entitled to 3/5 of the 6 weeks even though my salary has already been reduced based on my working hours.

Holidays are usually booked in hours or days ?
So if the full time days is 25 and you work 4:5 you would get 20 days

That's 5 weeks in both cases but your weeks have less days

Thanks, I get paid for the holidays as I have to take them in the school holidays

There should be information in your contract about how the entitlement is calculated. If you're in school and TTO you will be being paid for 12 months - I.e your salary is amended to be paid over 52 weeks and that includes holiday pay based on the working weeks calculation.

For the sake of arguments, let's take your 3 day a week PT work.

Are you OK with a person working "all year" getting 3/5 of the amount of holiday?

So, if you work TTO, your holiday gets reduced further to take into account, averaged over a year, you actually work less than 3 days a week due to the TTO nature of the role?
