What is my holiday entitlement?

Hi,
I am not sure if i am getting the right holiday entitlement and have had a look on the web but still unsure.
Can anyone help?
I am contracted to work 22hours a week from Tuesday-Saturday so don't work Mondays. I know there is a minimum of entitlement of 5.6(4 and 1.6 bank holidays) weeks per year and my employer adds another 1 week on top of the minimum.
Can anyone tell me how many hours of holiday entitlement should i be getting?
I am getting myself all confused as i don't work Mondays so Bank Holiday Mondays mean nothing to me but do they make a difference to my entitlement.
Thanks in advance.

    We need to know what a full timer gets and how many hours a week they work.

    Sorry,
    A full timer works a 35 hour week and gets the same 5.6 plus 1 week extra from the company, So 6.6 weeks in total.

    Then you get 6.6 weeks of whatever you work. If bank hols aren't given on tiop then they don't affect your entitlement.

    And, if your employer is very generous and does give bank holidays on top, then you would get 22/35 of those hours too (depending on how many there are in a year which fall on a Monday - varies because Christmas/Boxing Day and New Year can fall on Mondays).
