Are These Holiday Hours Right

I'm not that knowledgeable, but until someone better comes along, perhaps you can make do with my limited information.

Your holiday will be on a pro rata basis.

It sounds like you have 13 days holiday a year. 13 days holiday would give you the equivalent of one months holiday to take - the same as most people have. Because you only work a few days a week you don't "need" 20 plus days to have a full 4 weeks off work.

By the way 13 days is not 2 weeks holiday. When people say that they have 4 weeks holiday a year, it usually means 20 days holiday ie the working days in a week off of work.

Like I said, someone will be along soon to explain it better. Probably with maths.

I generally work 14 shifts per month, I started this job Feb 1st on 36hours one week and 46 the next. Shifts are 11.5 hours.

I've taken about 7 days holiday so far, they're saying I've got 70 hours left to take about 6 days, so is it right I only have two weeks holiday per year?

Thank you.

11.5 does not go into 36hr , 46 is 4 shifts

do you mean 3/4 shifts and 14shifts every 4 weeks not a month?

statutory holiday is 5.6 weeks or 28 days for a 5day a week worker.

Assuming you did mean 3/4 then that's and average of 3.5 shifts a week or 19.6 a year

This includes BH. and assumes regular full timers get 28 days total)

if you did mean 14 shifts a month thats 5.6 * 14*12/52 * 18.1 shifts holiday

without knowing the holiday year can't tell if you have a full years worth or not.

eg if it is calendar year you have a bout 11/12 worth.

if you don't work BH if on the rota then that counts s a days holiday(as long as you get paid)
