Toil question

Hi
I work 4 days a week, under the 37.5 hours full time week.
My employer pro ratas the annual leave and also pro ratas the bank holiday.
I don't work any bank holidays but it has to be taken out from the total pro rata annual leave/bank holiday hours.
A couple of the bank holidays fall on my scheduled day off (fixed day every week) - so they are bank holidays and also my day off.
I thought I would get TOIL hours for these two days as although it's my day off, it is also a bank holiday. They say not as not fully time and everything is prorata. Are they correct?
Thanks

what are your contracted hours ? is is a simple 0.8 FTE / 30 hours arrangement
what is your overall annual leave ? statutory ( 4 weeks of your contracted hours) + Bank holidays ( 1.6 weeks of your contracted hours) + any extra leave within your contract + any service related leave or legacy contract leave
are you covered by a Collective Bargaining arrangement ?
are you a member of a Trades Union ?

If you normally work on a Monday, you'll have less choice about which days you book as leave than someone who works the same no. of hours each week but doesn't work eg on Tuesdays. But you will each still get the same no. of hours in annual leave.
Some employers will be happy for you to work on a different day in a BH week, if you feel particularly aggrieved by the lack of choice.Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Thanks I'm not aggrieved at having had to have bank holidays off.
But more that I assumed that any bank holiday that fell on my day off (Fri) would mean that I get an additional 8 hours leave that as lieu.0 -
I don't see why you would get time of for not working on your day off.1

You are not due TOIL for the bank holidays when you would not have been working.
As you say you are working 85% of a full-time week, you must be working slightly longer days that a full-time person.
Because the full-timers' holiday entitlement has been converted into hours after adding the bank holidays and other leave together, your holiday entitlement has been calculated in hours too using that 85%.
So, as long as you take all the 224 hours from the days when you would otherwise have worked, you are getting your full entitlement and there is no time to be taken off in lieu of bank holidays if you would not have worked them in any case.2 -

If you were to get TOIL you would need to deduct the hours from your bank holiday hours,
You cannot keep the bank holiday hours and get TOIL. that would be double dibs for the one day.1
