Holiday Entitlement - irregular days/ part time

susieq1969

Hello,
I am part time 21 hours a week over 3 days ( 7 hours a day).
However I do not work the same days each week. I am trying to establish how my bank holidays are accounted for in my entitlement. The full time equivalent is 35 - 7 days a week over 5 days. 

Any tips on how to calculate would be great. Thanlk you.

How is the calculation expressed in your contract?

Many employers don't distinguish between annual leave and bank holidays, but simply give the annual entitlement.

Provided you are getting a pro rata entitlement to a full time employee, what do you think there is to challenge?

So full-time (35 hours/week) receive 33 days holiday (including those bank holidays).
Working 21 hours/week means you should be entitled to 19.8 days (which could be rounded up to 20 days).

If you never work on a bank holiday then you need to look at how many days in a bank holiday week you actually work.  If you work 3 days in a bank holiday week, then you shouldn't have the bank holiday deducted from your entitlement.  If you work only 2 days then you have had the bank holiday allocated as leave.

Is that what is happening?

It’s 21 hours x 6.6 weeks = 138.6 hours

True - but as the OP's working day is 7 hours (doesn't vary),  19.8 days (rounded up to 20 for simplicity) is easy to track.
