How is holiday calculated for NHS term-time only part-time contracts?

[Gosling33]

I have an interview for a term time only band 4 22.5 hour contract within the NHS. I'm not quite sure how holiday pay is calculated when it's part time and a term time only contact.
Any advice appreciated.

I think there was a court case about this recently, let me find it:

Not NHS, but it can be done as a % of your hours. Statutory minimium leave is 12.07% of hours worked.

So, how many hours will you work a year?

What do you mean holiday pay? You get the same, lower, pay all year round.

22.5 hours over 39 weeks = 877.5 hours.

You need to read up about that court case though, as as per the court case I attached a link to further up, workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks even if they don't work 52 weeks a year. Doesn't make any sense to my mind but should still be being adhered to given the outcome.

From reading, often term term only contracts get their holiday pay added into their pay. I may be incorrect.
Just feels difficult working it all out.

So I have a staff member who worked exactly these hours

She got 13 weeks a year off

She was paid for say 6 weeks of this or whatever her entitlement was, so she was actually only unpaid for 7 weeks or so

Her pay was divided into 12 equal payments

So her pay really wasn't bad at all

That’s what happens in our nhs trust too. They don’t offer them to new starters now but are people have them from historic times - I’d love one but the issue would be who is going to cover my job when I’m not there all of the holidays!

For 22.5 hours a week you will be entitled to 157.5 hours off annual leave per annum, this includes banl holidays which you would need to book as a/l. After 5 years you would be entitled to 166.5 hours, and after 10 years you would be entitled to 184.5 hours. This is as per the Agenda For Change annual leave entitlement which all NHS Trusts adhere to. I hope this helps.

That’s for 22.5 hours per week over 52 weeks, so not a term time contract. As term time contracts are over 39 weeks a year, the calculations are as follows: initially 118 hours, after 5 years: 124.8 hours, after 10 years: 138.5 hours

It will be 5.6 weeks pro-rata for the hours per week that are worked but not pro-rata for the number of weeks that are worked.

So the calculation will be 27 days + 8 BH = 35 days or 262.5 for a full time new starter.

262.5 ÷ 37.5 × 22.5 = 157.5 hours for an all year round 22.5 hour contract.

157.5 ÷ 52 × 44.6 (term time plus 5.6 weeks) = 135.09 hours for a term time only 22.5 hour contract.
