NHS annual Leave and Bank holiday entitlement?

Posts: 11 Forumite
My partner has worked for the NHS for just over 9 years as a facilities assistant on a 37.5 hr contract.
Should her leave entitlement be 217.5 a/l + 60 B/h?
She works a 6-day week Mon to Fri 6.5hrs and an alternating weekend day of 5hrs equaling 37.5hrs.
Her leave entitlement is 217.5 a/l + 40 b/h is this correct?
Does her bank holiday entitlement change because her 37.5hrs is spread over 6 days and not 5?
I also work for the NHS again for 37.5hrs across 5 days and received 60hrs b/h.
A 20hrs loss of leave for the same hours worked seems very strange am I missing some weird calculation that makes it right?

I might be wrong but 6.5hrs x 5 days and 5 hrs every other weekend = 37hrs.
217.5 suggest she is on the pre-5 year level.
Facilities are often outsourced, does an actual NHS trust pay their salary or is it another organisation?

Sorry, she works Mon-Sat one week then Monday- Fri + Sun the next.
She has worked for the same trust for 9 years and remained on an NHS contract when her trust outsourced 4/5 years ago.0 -
I think everyone is supposed to have the same 8 days bank holiday allowance in the NHS, it doesn't matter how you work your weekly 37.5 hours. I would definitely query it.0

Bank holidays are pro rata'd. Raise with TU rep if management are failing to understand.0

Either, as per NCC1701-A's post, she's working for a contract company not the NHS or someone's c0cked-up

ETA: Does she work some bank holidays? Are they saying that 20hrs worth of bank holidays must be taken on specific days & thus they've removed them from the general allowance so she doesn't try to book them off as separate days? ie she will still get the extra 20hours off at some point?
Seems unlikely as its a number of hours leave that doesn't match with her daily hours but you never know0
