Bank holidays when working p/t

[Maize]

I have got a new job which is p/t worked over 4 days.

I get bank holidays off but I am not sure how this works when you do a four day week.

I think that the day I have off will change weekly.

So if there is a bank holiday in the week will they automatically give me that as my day off that week, but then it seems like I am loosing a day of holiday because I would have had a day off in the week anyway?

Its within the NHS if that makes a difference?

I rang HR and they were useless.

Cheers.

This came up at work recently.

I work 4 days, as does a colleague of mine. We always take the bank holiday as per everyone else, however she recently discovered that we are supposed to lose 4/5 of a day's pay for the bank holiday (I think).

Work haven't cottoned onto this, needless to say that none of us p/t workers are keen to raise this issue!

I work 2 days a week in the public sector (local authority) on a monday and tuesday. I am entitled to 40 percent of a bank holiday and therefore 'owe' 60 percent of my hours if after a bank holiday monday. I am lucky enough to work flexi time though so usually I just work up the extra hours.

Dh however works for NHS and says the part timer in his office has his annual leave calculated in hours factoring in bank holidays so who knows how it will work for you!

Yes when I worked in the NHS part time staff had annual leave calculated in hours. That meant if your usual day was Monday you would have pro rata of the bank holiday depending on how many hours a week you worked.

angelene I don't think it can be 4/5ths of a day's pay, its probably 4/5ths of the bank holiday you are entitled to, so technically you have to make up the other 1/5th or take it out of your annual leave.
