Holiday entitlement for part timers.

Flexer

I'm contracted to work 3 hours on Tuesday and 3 hours on Thursday, so 6 hours per week.
I have asked senior staff what my holiday entitlement is and they were clueless.
Would it be 11.4 days with a day representing a 3 hour shift? ( I have not included any of my considerable overtime in this calculation)

should be in your contract. My company has a table to work out our holiday entitlement but it is probably company specific.

Assuming your company offers the statutory minimum (28 days paid leave a year, which includes BHs) then it's 11.2 days a year off for you (28 x 0.4).

This means if your working days fall on a BH and you don't work, it has to come out of that 11.2 days' leave. If there's a BH and you don't work it, then nothing happens.

It should be pro rated to the full-time employee equivalent holiday entitlement.

The least it should be is 11.2 days (a day being 3 hours in your case). That is the statutory (and thus minimum) holiday entitlement of 5.6 weeks a year.

Did your calculation of 11.4 days arise because a full-time person receives more than 5.6 weeks (28 days) each holiday year?

You need to look at the precise wording of the holiday entitlement of a full-time person. For instance does it include bank holidays?

It will really depend on your contract but I can tell you that I work 2 shifts a week (Tues + Thurs) and am entitled to 9 shifts a years holiday allowance + 3 bank holidays

Sorry the figure I meant was 11.2 days not 11.4 based on statutory minimum.

I am the only part timer working there and they had no clue how to work out my holiday.

The 11.2 days seems about right so I can show them the calculations on directgov. They are basically making it up as they go along for me which has its advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks for the help

You need to work it out in hours. Eg if the ft are on 37.5 hrs a week 7.4 hour days, 28 days per year then ...


28x7.4 = 207.2 a year ft hours
6/ 37.5. = 0.16
Multiply the two and you get 33.15 hours.

So at 6 hours a week that is basically 11 of your days.

Obvs change if 7.5 hour days or more annual leave etc.

The OP doesn't need to work it in hours, as they work the same hours each day.

It's very simply:
Total paid leave for FTs x 0.4


You only need to use hours if the person works different hours on different days.

So you are entitled to the minimum 11.2 days rounded up to 12 (because parts of a day cannot be rounded down).

As KiKi writes, there is no need to work out in hours.

However, the entitlement is not "basically 11 of your days". It is precisely 11.2 days and may be increased so that complete days (3 hours each) or hours are taken but cannot be rounded down to 11 days.
