The way I work it out for my staff is:

26 (hours) x 20 (days) divided by 5 = 104 hours per year leave

You then need to pro rata it. If you started on July 1st then you'll have 52 hours (10 days).

Thy may work it out differently so you'll need to check.

which is wrong.

The minimum holiday for the full timers is 28 days so you have to prorata at least that many

You really need to know when the holiday year starts and therefore how many bank holidays are going to come out of your entitlement before the next year starts.

If your written particulars do not include details of a "company holiday year" then everyone will have an individual holiday year running from the start of their employment with the company.

Because your work hours are not the same every day your holiday should really be worked out in hours so that if you took holiday on one of your "short" days, you don't lose out - nor the company lose out if you only took days off on "long" ones.

Hi OP

You're right, you can be given a formula to work it out.

As your hours are not the same every day, the formula for you is:

* Your weekly hours divided by full time hours
* Multiply that by 190.4 (28 days leave 20 days AL plus 8 BHs - multiplied by average of daily hours)
* This gives you your total hours paid leave

On a Friday you'd take 4 hours off the total when you're off work, obviously, and 5.5 for M-Th when you're off. The same for Bank Hols.

Find out when your leave year is. Then:

* Work out the number of days left in your leave year (eg, July 16 to Dec 31)
* Take that number and divide it by 365
* Multiply that by your total hours paid leave for the whole year
* This number is the hours' of paid leave (including BHs) that you have left this year

The problem with hours based and allocations is you have to be carefull not to give less that the equivilent of 5.6 weeks, so if an employee never takes a short hours day you can end up giving less than the required holiday.

But it is equivalent to 5.6 weeks of a normal week. The time in a normal week is in hours. Calculate the holiday in hours and take the holiday in hours and there is no problem.
