    Person 1 works 15 hours a week and has started mid way through the year.

    15 x 5.6 =84

    84 paid holiday hours for a whole year.

    84/365 days is 0.23

    0.23 x the amount of days the person will work in that year due to it not being a full year.
    So mid July will leave around 260 days.

    0.23 x 260 = 59.8 (60) hours of paid leave could be due.

    To confuse things further yiy will need to work out how much of the year was done doing 10 hours then how much will be done at the new 15. Add those figures together. So it would be less than the 60 I said above because 15 hours were not the norm from July.

    The average of the last 12 weeks example that was used earlier is more suited to someone who's hours change a lot week to week. Your 'person 1' doesn't really fit that.



    Just to be clear

    0.23 x the amount of days worked at 10hours a week
    +
    0.23 x the amount of days they will work at 15hours a week until the end of next March.

    One of the complications holiday allowance and holiday pay are separate entitlements.

    A simple measure, if to take the time off you need to use holiday allowance to book it, it should accrues holiday allowance.

    ask the question,
    To take a week off do they need to book the new 1/2 day as part of the holiday allowance?

    if the allowance is calculated on one day weeks, then using one day should get the week off with a weeks pay.
