Working out holiday hours when leaving

[jimmynailsalive]

Just trying to check I get the correct hours for once so can anyone confirm my numbers look okay?

1. I haven't been told my days next week but as working up to Thursday, I expect I'll be working Monday to Thursday. Can I take it my leaving date will be Saturday 26th December or am I likely to be paid up to 24th December and therefore should I insist on a day off?

2. If paid to Saturday that will be 270 days in a year of 366 days so if 4 weeks and 2.5 days I take it it'll be 270/366 x 22.5 days?

3. I purchased the extra 7.5 days so again I presume I will have 270/366 x 7.5 days?

4. Bank holidays, are there 8 bank holidays and are these calculated in the same way above or do you need to be employed at the time when the fall to benefit from them.


I carried over about 56 hours as well so would like to get everything confirmed Monday as the thought of chasing underpayment fills me with dread.

cheers folk.

Just ring HR and tell them your finish date - if they are in a good mood they will work it out for you

Tried that there and no luck, couldn't have been in a good mood!

They sort of said as it's almost 9 months of the year then just use 3/4rds of entitlement and as buying extra up to six weeks, then should be due 4.5 weeks which will probably be near enough.

So that only leaves

1. Bank holiday - I'm guessing you only get them as they come round, as I'm leaving on Thursday and working Mon-Thursday this week and 2 bank holidays fall 25th & 26th, I've put 24th in my letter as last working day but I'm wanting paid for the full week and as 2 bank holidays I will be wanting an extra day in lieu, would this be correct?

If your LDS is the 24th then that is your last day - it won't include the bank holidays

As I understand all of the Bank Holidays count as part of our statutory entitlement,and as we have only had 5 of the 8 days we are entitled to so far this leave year you might be entitled to 1 more days pay. But you'll need someone who understands the rules better than me to confirm this.

Cheers lads, think I'll go with the 8 days statutory entitlement and call it 6 due so that I've rounded everything slightly up in my favour and I'll go in and get it sorted out tomorrow morning. Got a few missing hours to add to it for the last couple of weeks that I have been underpaid so I've written it all down now and looks spot on subject to them clawing back the small percentage where it isn't quite bang on 3/4rds but that gives me a number now to go in with and hopefully get signed off as no chance I'm waiting to my last day to haggle over it.
