change in holidays?

blueye

hi, my holidays used to run from jan to december my company want holidays to run march to march so this jan we got told our holiday year would run from jan to march then march to march i booked 24 days so far and asked how many days i had left based on me working a 6 day week they say i have nine days left so 33 days in total for jan 2010 to march 2011 is that right?

Full stops are good.

Anyhow - can you let us know how many days leave you have usually, in one year. Then we can calculate how many you should have over 15 months.

[Or just divide the days leave you get in one year by 12, and multiply by 15].

i get 28 days usually

Say 'I have worked out I should get x days, can you tell me how you have calculated my entitlement'.

Surely if its January-March this is only 14 months as its upto and not including March hence their calculation being 2 days less than yours

28 days/12 months = 2.33R

2.33x 14 months = 32.66 which they have rounded up to the next full day making 33 days.

33 days minus the 24 you booked is 9 days. Seems right to me.

the pro rata calculation for january and february would be 4.66 days, rounded up sensibly to 5. 28 + 5 = 33, minus the 24 is 9. spot on. your annual leave year runs, i assume from 1st January 2010 to 28 february 2011, then 1st march 2011 to 29 february 2012 etc....

Why is it you feel the company are 'scammin f$$ks'? even if they were wrong which as you can see they weren't it could actually just have been an error, you know one of those small things that Humans do every now and again?

OP gave periods of Jan to March for the short period.
Then suggested the holiday year would be March to March.
There needs to be some clarification about the new holiday year - I suspect it is actually April to March, so that the January to March is 3 months.
