Part Time holiday pay entitlement...

Hello,

Due to child-care commitments I currently only work at weekends mainly on a Saturday, approximately 10 hours per week since the start of this tax year.

As I am fully through the books, so to speak, shouldnt I be accruing some holiday pay entitlement? Am obviously not bothered about getting time off but the extra money would come in handy.

Have tried a few online searches but even the HMRC website is as clear as mud on the issue, does anyone have any ideas as to how much I should be accruing per month?

I think a full time employee doing a 40 hour week earns 2.33 days holiday per month, as I do 10 hours per week does that mean I should gain 0.58 days per month?

    You would accrue holiday on a pro rata basis but whether the company would pay you instead of you taking the time off is up to them.

    you get the same prorata to full time 5 day workers

    looks like they are getting 28 days(do they get BH on top?) which is the statutory min 5.6 weeks.

    if you work 1 day a week you get 20% 5.6 days (0.467days per month)

    In hours 12.07% is used as that is close and only rounded up a bit.

    Think its 28 days inc BH's, by my calculations I am owed 4 days so far. I know they pay any untaken holidays when you leave them, as I left full time to go part time elsewhere a while back and they paid me then.

    Surely it's fairly simple. The OP is entitled to 56 hours paid leave.

    Forget bank holidays. Everyone is entitled to 5.6 weeks leave.


    Your working week is 10 hours. You get 56 hours paid leave per year
