Part-time holiday entitlement

Yes, you would be right about the BH if the OP worked a 4 day week like full time workers.  But they don't. They work 4 days a week.  So they are entitled to 6.4 days of bank holidays (which legally has to be rounded up to 6.5 days).  And it can happen that the vast majority of BH fall on a Monday.  Does a PT worker who works Tue-Fri lose their entitlement?  Obviously not.  So it is important to calculate BH entitlement, how many are used 'automatically' by PT workers because the business is closed, and how many need to be taken on other days as applicable.


It is also worth knowing how many hours of (non BH) holiday you have, in case you ever want (and are allowed) to take a few hours off rather than a whole day.

Sorry - you say I'd be right if the OP worked a 4-day week (like full time workers) but they don't, they work 4 days a week!??

The only time when the BHs should not be lumped in with ordinary days is if the OP's employer is silly enough to give the OP a written contract which says the OP gets 20 days (ie pro rato to full-time) plus bank holidays.  That could be good for the OP as long as they work Mondays normally.

No need to worry about total hours for any of the holiday entitlement.  If they want half a day then it is 2.8125 hours (say 2 hours and 49 minutes).
