Bank holidays can be used in your minimum statutory entitlement and is one of the reasons why it was increased to twenty-eight days. If you don't normally work when a bank holiday falls, there is nothing to deduct from your entitlement.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0

Actually, its saturdays. But I believe everyone gets some time for bank holidays. Could be wrong.
Yes, that is correct. Even if you do not ever work on days that are bank holidays, as a part-timer you are still entitled to a percentage of what the F/T staff have.
Working one day per week (any day) will entitle you to 1/5 of the statutory minimum allowance, therefore 5.6 days. If your company work in 'hours' then this would be:
5.6 x your contracted working hours. (eg. 5.6 x 8 = 44.8 hours).
The company can stipulate when you take this. So if they want to close for 2 weeks over xmas and this covers two of your Saturdays, then you will have to use 16 hours, leaving you 28.8 for the rest of the year.0 -

The government have made it so that part-time workers cannot lose out so they are entitled to a percentage of the benefits a full-timer gets, based on their hours worked.
The statutory minimum annual leave allowance for someone working 5 days per week is 5.6 weeks (=28 days) This is generally broken down into 20 regular days and 8 bank holidays. So if you work 2 days per week, you are entitled to 2/5 of this allowance (11.2 days, which may or not be bank holidays, depending on your contracted days of work).
Generally, at least 4 bank holidays per year are Mondays, so if you work Monday and Tuesday (and your company closes on BH) then 4 of your 11.2 days will be taken on these bank holidays, meaning you have 7.2 days to take at other times.
Obviously this is just an example but the above figures are what you are entitled to AS A MINIMUM.0 -
Sorry, it's just that your earlier post looked as though it read, that even though the OP doesn't work Mondays, for example, she still loses the proportional entitlement, that a full-time employee would. Perhaps I was reading it wrong
However, it is not generally accepted that the twenty eight days include bank holidays. Yes, a lot of employers do use the bank holidays as part of the minimum entitlement, but thankfully, the majority of employees enjoy their full entitlement and public holidays.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
Okay, but shouldn't it show up on my payslip as 44.8 Hours?
The company hasn't told when to take the time off.
Or is there another reason why my payslip, and therefor my holiday entitlement is only showing as 33 Hours?0
