Help with part time work/annual leave workings

chancesare_2

No doubt a regularly asked question - but I can't work out what is what for my DD who has started a new job.

She works 3 days, 9-5 M, T and W. A total of 22.5 hours paid (half hour lunch unpaid).

Her contract says she gets 20 days pro rata per year and bank/public holidays. The office is closed on bank/public holidays.

My reckoning is that she works 3 out of 5 days. Therefore her 20 days means (4 weeks) therefore 4 weeks @ 3 days = 12 days annual leave, plus bank/public holidays.

However she has started (at the start of the annual leave year) and has been given 16.8 days leave. The bank holidays have been taken out of the "allowance".

I suspect she may be receiving a pro rata bank/public holiday allowance in the calculation (which seems fair) but am not certain.

Is anyone able to shed any light on how I check it's correct for her.

TIA.

It is correct.
A full timer gets 28 days.
You daughter gets 3 fifths of the same = 28 / 5 * 3 = 16.8
But point to note: she doesn't get to choose when to take all those days holiday - if a bank holiday falls on one of her normal working days which will be most of them as she works Mon-Wed (assuming 7 here for full holiday year i.e. everything except Good Friday) then she will need to deduct a days holiday for each of those leaving her with 9.8 days that she can ask to take when she wants.
