Which part-time days?

I currently work 5 days a week (36 hours). I'd like to go part-time (3 days a week) and I'm wondering how it works with public holidays etc.

Does it make any differenc financially if I work Mon,Tues,Weds or Tues, Weds, Thurs (or any other combination for that matter)?

    The holidays should be prorata so no financial difference.

    Check the company holiday policy not all et this tight

    The main difference is how many floating days you get,

    If you have to take the bank holidays they use up your reduced holidays.

    T,W,T, I think are the best days to maxiimise total pay for the year.

    Think that is T,W,T would be best to maximise total time off during the year.

    It seems as though I would accrue public hols too - so best to do T,W,T methinks, which is what I'd originally hoped... Thanks!
