  • Sorry for delay.. Yes, I actually get 28 days off. But as I'm off mondays, I feel like i'm loosing out having a Bank holiday monday awf...

    I have to work 3 of the 8 Bank hols we have. I normally choose Good Friday, Easter Monday and any other monday.
    Were a 7 day Business, however Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years day and Easter sunday were shut..............

    Do full time employees get 35 days holiday a year? If not, you're getting a good pro rata deal by only working 4 days a week and receiving 28 days holiday a year.

    The bank holiday issue for part time workers hasn't, I think I'm correct in thinking, been settled. It's a bit of a grey area in employment law.

    The simplest way to achieve equality in such cases is to give part-time workers a pro-rata entitlement to public holidays and monitor the days on which they work. However, the Court of Session decision in McMenemy v Capita Business Services Ltd [2007] CSIH 25 XA91/06 indicates that this may not be necessary.
    I am an employment solicitor. However, my views should not be taken to be legal advice. It's difficult to give correct opinion based on the information given by posters.

    Still not clear though...

    Is the 24 days meant to include bank hols. Which is why they're putting it up to 28 in 2009 so that they employers can get around it...?

    Yes - the statutory minimum can include the bank holidays.

    It is going up by 8 days (the number of bank holidays in the UK) in two stages - because some employers were including the bank holidays in the previous minimum of 20.

    i think if you put it in plain english it works thus 9only my opinion) and only our situation

    current holiday entitlement = 20 days plus 8 days bank holiday (28 total)

    this does not mean that our entitlement will go to 24 days as we currently have a better deal however if

    current entitlement = 20 days including 8 bank holidays then our entitlement would rise to 24 days this year and 28 days next giving the same 28days as in example 1
