    Do they include bank holidays? My leave is worked out in hours and they give me hours including B/H which I then have to take off.

    Bank holidays aren't relevant.


    You are entitled to a minimum 5.6 weeks holiday, some of those days must be taken on the days that coincide with bank holidays, but they don't add extra by law


    some contracts say you have X number + B/Hs but again just look at the total

    Ask for confirmation in writing of the figure your manager states is correct, along with confirmation that they will not take the hours back off you if they realise at a later date that their figures are wrong.
    That should result in one of two outcomes (1) You have a nice surprise in that you have more holiday entitlement than you thought (2) Alarm bells will ring for your manager and they will come up with the correct figure.
    Either way you will have confidence that you can take the holiday.

    Bank holidays aren't included in the 25 days - I get those on top.

    OK, so you get 33 days in total.

    Keep in mind the employer can attach whatever conditions they like to the 5 days that are over and above the 28 day statutory minimum.

    Ok should be relatively simple.

    full time to Feb 1st 2017 on return from maternity.

    full holiday years are
    1. Oct15-Sept 16 due 25+8
    2. Oct16-Sept 17 due 25+8 prorata for part time.

    year1 there were 6 BH till mid may that would leave 2 how many of the 25 days were taken?

    you said 2 to carry over so working on that + BH a total of 4*7 = 28

    Year2 you have 17 weeks @ full time(7hr) and 35 @ 5.5hr)
    (actually 17 and a bit weeks )

    based on 52weeks years and 33days = 198 rounded up(197.68)

    TOTAL = 226.
