Changing Jobs - How much annual leave should I have taken for this year?

[RoseMember]

Hoping someone can help, we don't have a HR department in my current company as it's so small so I can't ask anyone and the online calculators are all different.

Changing jobs and leaving on the 16th May. Leave year starts on the 1st Jan.

I'm entitled to 20 days annual leave and then the 8 bank holidays on top, making 28.

I think I've worked out I am entitled to take 10.4 days of annual leave before leaving and then the bank holidays on top of that, making 14.4 days.

Can anyone help me confirm if that is correct?

I've taken 6 days already so just want to make sure I use the correct amount and don't end up owing them!

20 leave days divided by 12 =1.6 days/per month.
Multiplied by 4 months (Jan- Apr) = 6.6 days.

The Bank Holidays don't count.

If you pro rata all leave including the bank hols it's 10.5 days (28/12 x 4.5 months worked). It will depend on of this is allowed to add the bank holiday. I would expect it to be 7.5 days of annual leave (20/12 x 4.5) and then you just take the BH days as they fall, so you would get the early may bank hol same as you got new years day already.

I calculate that you are entitled to 10.4 days but not the bank holidays on top.

10.5 days
No extra bank holidays on top as the 10.5 already has pro rata bank holidays included.

10.4/5 days then take off the BH you will have had so new years day, Easter X2 and Monday in may so you will have had 4 BH used up so you have 6.5 days to take and I think you said you'd had 6 days earlier.

Thanks all! Makes much more sense now, I originally thought bank holidays weren't included but someone told me they were so thanks for clearing that up!

Bank holidays that you are there for are obviously included why wouldn't they be

How did you calculate 10.4 days without including Bank Holidays? As a rough calculation 10 days is half a year's allocation, so you'd have to work 6 months of the leave year to be entitled to 10 days. But you're only working 4.5 months.

Some employers calculate AL based on full calendar months worked (in your case that would be 4 months) but others use more precise calculations (so 4.5 months or perhaps the exact number of days worked). Is this stated in your contract or does your employer have an AL policy?

Everywhere I've worked wouldn't take Bank Holidays into account - they just fall when they fall. Unless you work part-time and have your leave entitlement calculated differently. But some companies might be different, especially if they don't close on BHs and staff are on rotas.

Yes, 28 days a year, that includes bank holidays.

That's the statutory entitlement.

PP have calculated based on this and removed any bank holiday days the op has already taken such as NYD.
