oldoakey, I think that is wrong on all counts, but I may be misunderstanding what you're saying ...

You are obliged to treat your p-t employees no less favourably than your f/t staff. If you pay your f/t staff for BHs, you must pay your p/t staff for BHs, always of course on a pro rata basis.

Your right but we only have part timers so those rules dont apply.

The rule that you must give at least 5.6 weeks of annual leave still applies: obviously that's 5.6 weeks' worth of however many hours are normally worked. If they don't work regular hours, then paying 12.07% of hours worked is fairly straightforward IMO.

We have never paid Bank holidays to part time staff you are not obliged to apart from Christmas day, Boxing day and New years day which I think is statutory.
The annual leave was always calculated as four times the employees normal working week so 4 x 11 = 44
.

The minimum you can pay is 5.6 weeks so using 4 weeks is wrong.

Always a good idea to have a full timers contract defined so you can treat part timers correctly
