Holiday entitlement

bonsta

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help regarding holiday entitlement.

I recently left a job, after working there for just over 7 weeks. My monthly entitlement is 2.33 days and I get paid monthly.

My boss is claiming that as i am paid monthly and i only worked 1 complete month I am only entitled to 2.33 days(ie 1 months worth). Is that correct?

Multiply your hours worked by 12.07%, this will tell you how many hours you are owed.You accrue holiday for every hour/minute you work. A full timer works out at 3.8 days for 7 weeks work which can be rounded up but not down.

And 2.33 days if multiplied by 12 isn't the legal annual minimum for someone contracted for five or more days a week.

I assume the .96 is rounded up to a full day.

Most likely they rounded down the 28/12(2.333...) to get the 2.33 so they would need to round up some where.

If the op worked 7 weeks then 28*7/52 will get the answer needed 3.77.

Sorry OP I have recalculated and you are due 4.22 days for the 7 weeks you have worked. This is because I forgot to factor in the 5.6 weeks in my calculations meaning 7weeks work = 28*7/46.4.You are entitled to 5.6 weeks leave therefore you only work 46.4 weeks per year to earn this.

Of course, they can't round down at all. That would not be lawful.

Why would anyone want to give you advice anymore if you come on with an attitude like that?
How is anyone meant to know that it was your husband if the info isnt offered freely in your post?
