Holiday pay question

SeduLOUs

My partner works in retail on a contract for 8 hours per week.

1. The company says he is entitled to 4 weeks holiday pay. Bank holidays are normal working days. I presume I am correct in saying that the legal minimum is now 5.6 weeks pro rata (44.8 hours)?

2. Although his contract is for 8 hours, he has never worked less than 30 hours per week since he started in December. Are there any rules that statethat holiday entitlement should be based on average hours work? It seems unfair that when he takes a week off he will effectively be taking unpaid leave as he will only get 8 hours pay, but if it's legal we'll just have to take the hit.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I believe the holiday entitlement is based or should be based on average number of hours worked, i could be wrong but im sure ive read it on the forums somewhere
