PT Holiday entitlement

Leothecat

Hi,


Could you please help me to work out how much holiday entitlement I should have?


I am the only person working here on reduced hours.
I work 26 hours a week. Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri 8am - 3pm with 30 minutes for lunch.


Everyone else works 37.5 hours a week Monday - Friday. They are entitled to 20 days floating holidays plus 10 Bank/Statutory days.


After 5 years with the company, employees are entitled to 2 extra floating holidays a year. Holidays run Jan - Dec and from Jan 2018 I will be entitled to the 2 extra days.


Any help with this very gratefully received.


Many thanks!

Not an expert on the exact workings of holiday entitlement but afaik it should be at the pro rata rate, so in your case you would get approx 14 days paid holidays (roughly 2/3rds), the bank holidays will just be as normal for the days you would be at work when they occur?

You're still entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday basic (by law) - it's just that your weeks are shorter than everyone else's - the contractual increase is the question really.


It's something you need to ask your employer about

You should get prorata the full time not the statutory.

full time get 20+10 for 5 days

You work 4 days so get 4/5 that should be 24days total
You take from that the fixed days that fall on one of your work days that the others use the 10 days for.

you should qualify for service days if you meet the criteria(and they should not discriminate against part time) so ad 4/5 of the 2 days another 1.6 days.

There are other ways to do it but they should be equivalent when mapped onto days.

The OP doesn't work 4/5th of the normal week, that would be 30 hours. Holiday entitlement would generally be 69% of a full time worker.

Your entitlement is simple. It must be pro-rata the same as the full time employees.

Full time employees get 4 weeks' floating holiday and 2 weeks' BH, so you must get the same. It's just that your weeks are shorter. They get 4 x 37.5 hours and 2 x 37.5 hours. You will get 4 x 26 hours and 2 x 26 hours.

The bad news is that you won't be entitled to '2 extra days' in 2018. If you were, this would be unfair to FT employees. You will be entitled to 2 x 26/37.5 days! Easier to work out in hours - I work it out as an extra 10.4 hours a year.

Op works 4days a week that's 4/5 when you do it in weeks or days.

If you do it in hours it come back to the same answer in days once you work back.

You can't mix hours and days.

If you prorata in hours then you use the hours for holiday.

The legal position is weeks.
The op should get the same number of weeks as a full timer inc the 0.4 service week when they qualify.

Thank you for all your replies. They are pretty much what I thought and how we currently work it. The query really fell on the additional entitlement come 2018. As it works out around 1.6 days they normally round up so I get the full 2 days. :j
