Your comparator doesn't have to be someone who works on accounts. That's why I mentioned "office" and "level of responsibility", I didn't mean "does the same tasks".

Saying "25 working days pro rata" doesn't mean anything unless it says what it is pro rated to. Ask them what they mean by it. (In fact I've read back and see the handbook says 25 days plus public holidays so we can take that as 33 days for a full-time person.)

If the full-time staff do have 25 plus 8 bank holidays in a standard year, that is 33 days. As you work 3 days a week, you should recceive 3/5 of that total - so 19.8 days (your 4-hour days) and thus 79.2 hours.. They can't round that down (because that would be unfair in relation to full-time staff) but can round it up.

If you would normally work on a bank holiday, they should pay you for 4 hours and deduct it from the rest of your allowance. If a bank holiday falls on a day you would not normally work, you should not be paid for it and should not have it deducted from your leave allowance.

Thanks for the replies.
