Help! Can't work out holiday entitlement and think I'm being shortchanged

Hi,

So I work 40 hours a week (4 days x 10 hours).

My annual leave entitlement is in my contract as 20 days paid leave plus 9 days paid public holidays (of which 5 are used for specific dates).

Last year (24-25) I used 17 days total from the 29 and we're allowed to roll over any unused.

This year (25-26) I've booked leave totalling 17 days including the 5 public holidays.

I should have 12 days rolled over from last year and 12 days left of this years allowance = 24 days / 6 weeks / 240 hours

240 hours ÷ 40 hours = 6 weeks to take

My holiday statement says:

Annual leave (25-26) = 160 hours
Public holidays (25-26) = 72 hours
Rolled over = 62 hours
Total = 294 hours / 7.35 weeks

From this 294 hours they said I've still to take this year's 17 days and after that I have 3.1 weeks left to use.

I can't understand this and my manager says it's correct.

I think I'm missing out on 3 weeks holiday.

When you pro rata your leave over 4 days then you have 23.2 days annual leave (but your days are 10 hours long). If you deduct the 17 days amount took last year then that leaves 6.2 days left to carry over which is 62 hours which is what the calculation says.

You dont get 29 days in total, you get â…˜ of 29 which gives 23.2 x 10 hour days

this makes sense

as full time is 50 hours not 40

I don't work condensed hours.

Thanks everyone. It was confusing as they have it as days and hours mixed on all the holiday forms but only days on the contract. I've got it sorted now.

40h @ 8h days
52x5d = 260 = 20+9+231

Paid = hd + ph + at work
260d = 20d +9d +231d
2080h = 160h + 72h +1848h

40h @ 10h days
52x4d = 260 work days
unknown days + 9 days at 8h + 1848h working

Annual leave (25-26) = 160 hours
Public holidays (25-26) = 72 hours
Rolled over = 62 hours
Total = 294 hours / 7.35 weeks

160h 12d × 10h= 120 h so left 40h
072h 05d × 10h = 050 h so left 22h
5d× 10h = overcharge

You were charged a 10h public holiday while a team mate working 40 over 5 days is chargrd 8h.

160h 12d × 10h= 120 h so left 40h
072h 05d × 08h = 040 h so left 32h

this year+rolled+total

160h + 40h = 200
72h + 32h = 104
