Annual leave - is this right?

cllb2

Hi, can someone just quickly confirm this for me?

My employer has worked out my annual paid leave at 17 days a year. I just want to check this is right as he isn't the greatest of employers!

I work 3 days a week, 2 days 10-8pm and one day 10-5pm. I have to take bank holidays off, and these have to be taken as paid holiday.

Three of us have the same working arrangements so we just want to be sure they are correct

Thanks

Taking away lunch etc, How many hours a week do you work and how many days holiday do you get.

For example if you get 28 days holiday and work 25 hours per week then it would work out like this

25 hours per week divided by 5 days a week = 5 hours per day holiday entitlement

5 hours X 28 days holidays = 140 hours per year.

Part time with working different hours each day you would be better off taking your holiday in hours anyhow. Hope this helps as an example

Hiya

Like I said, my annual paid holiday has been calculated at 17 hours.

I don't actually take lunch breaks, and my working week is 27 hours (I never claim overtime despite regularly being in the office early and leaving late)

If you work the same number of days each week then the calculation is easy. You are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks holiday (that is your normal three day weeks).

So, this equates to 5.6 x 3 = 16.8 days which must be rounded up making 17 - therefore correct!

Yep. 27 hours per week divided by 5 = 5.4
5.4 hrs X 28 days hols = 151.2 hours
151.2 hours divided by 9 hours per day = 16.8 days hol which yes = 17 days holiday.

So your boss is correct

Though you do not take lunch breaks, does your employer allow for them? Adults are entitled to a minimum 20 minute break where shifts last more than 6 hours - as all yours do.

If you are actually paid for 27 hours a week, then one of your "days" for holiday purposes is 9 hours long.
