    Its down to whats in your contract so read it carefully.

    Mine says hp plus bhols but last year he decided its now including bhs and left me a note to tell me. Yes I know I can argue it but its very awkward when theres just you and the boss in the office and he's jealous of you having more holidays than him.

    Not always!

    I have seen part time contracts that give XX days leave (pro rata) PLUS bank holidays if they fall on the days normally worked!

    So, if somebody normally works only on Mondays and Fridays they do well out of this.

    On the other hand if they normally work Tue, Wed and Thur then the only bank holidays they will ever see are Christmas and Jan 1 in certain years. Obviously they sill have a statutory right to 28 days pro rata.........
    I'd say that was wrong, and that the BHs ought to be pro rata just like the other leave. Only way to make it fair, IMO!
