How do you work out annual leave, pro rata?

KiKi

Full timer = 28 days AL x 7.4 hours a day = 207.2 hours' leave
A 24 hour contract is 64.86% of a full time contract.
64.86% of a full timer's leave of 207.2 hours = 134.4 hours.

(Or another way: 28 days' AL, divided by 5 days a week, multiplied by 4 days' worked, multiplied by the 6 contract hours a day.)

37 is a very odd number of weekly working hours - do they finish early on a Friday or something?!

Thanks again everyone.

The staff handbook states that the full time working week is 37 hours, but most of the staff are on 19.5 hours, with a few on 24 or 26 hour contracts. It is care work, so everyone works shifts on a rota basis, and some employees have 'family friendly' shifts to allow for personal circumstances.

Currently my daughter's shifts are generally 7-11, 7-2, 8-3, or 3-10, but there are times that she finishes at different times, according to business needs. She always gets her contracted hours, and anything else is overtime (which I know is not included in AL calculations).

She will be entitled to 24hrs x 5.6.

Her holiday pay will be based on her contracted hours. If they worked it out in hours, as you suggest they should, she would be accruing holiday pay for overtime hours. That should only be done really when people work 0 hour contracts or are temping where hours are truely variable.

By the same token, when she books her holidays she will book off her contacted hours, not random hours where she may have needed to stay until 4pm, if you see what I mean.

I have already stated that I know she does not accrue annual leave on any overtime worked, but that she will only get AL for her contracted hours. She will also only be booking full shifts off, as we both understand that you cannot book off the odd hour here and there. The only reason for working out holidays in hours is because she currently works variable length shifts, although this will alter in the next few weeks and she will work seven hour shifts (one hour unpaid break), so paid for six hours per shift.
