Holidays with different hours per day

[ahemfem]

Hi, if someone works 4 days a week and 2 days are short and two are longer (by an hour) how should holiday be worked out? Is it much difference if they just have their holidays in days. The person is most likely to book the longer days off so I'm wondering how that should be worked out. In hours ???

Your annual leave would presumably be in hours not days to reflect your work pattern so you would have a total number to take off throughout the leave year

Yes all part time staff and shifts of different length should be done in hours. There's a calculator on gov website

In hours. Minimum annual statutory allowance is 5.6 x the number of hours per week including bank holidays.

Ok that's grand thank you. I did think that but then I wondered if they'd be able to say you can have x short days and y long days.

@ahemfem

If you work part time your holiday is given in hours, not days.
I used to work one shorter day. If it was a 'long' day I used 7 hours of my allocation, on the short day I used 5.

Did this mean you were left with hours you couldn't use?

Yes. It should be in hours and it can make a massive difference.

Do they get more if its done in days or less?

@ahemfem

Not really, I could carry leave over the same as anyone else.
I think once or twice I may have just knocked off an hour early or had a long lunch.

Great!
