Hi
     I’ve been In a small part time job for over a year now ,  I only do 9 hrs a week but I enjoy getting out the house and it supplements my pension drawdown.
The days I work are Thursday 6 hrs and Friday 3 hrs ,     Recently the company changed hands and the new boss said this year from Jan 1st I’m entitled to 11 days holiday ,      What’s bothering me a bit is that if I take a Friday off that’s classed as a day ,      Is this correct or is it all to do with hours worked ? 

    Thanks 

Employers often get holiday entitlement wrong.

The national minimum is 20 days plus 8 bank holidays (5.6 weeks), assuming a 37.5 working hour week.

So 28 days holiday x 7.5 hours = 210 hours.

You work 9/37.5 hours so 24% of a working week, so you should get 24% of 210 hours which is 50.4 hours.

If you take a Thursday off, then 6 hours are deducted, and 3 hours if you work a Friday. If the company do not work bank holidays, then if it's a bank holiday Friday you'd have to deduct 3 hours holiday.


4.5 hours x 11 days = 49.5 hours (so near enough your 50.4 hour entitlement) so I think they've tried to do it based on you working an average 4.5 hours a day and taking BOTH Thursday and Friday off if you have a day off. 

No. The national minimum is 28 days. Bank holidays are irrelevant as there is no legal entitlement to them. If the employer chooses to close on bank holidays then they are simply instructing their staff to take those days as part of their 28 day entitlement.

I think you are missing the point.
