Holiday allowance for part time

Post by PostmanCat »

I am working 20 hours pw over 5 days, my contract states that makes my holiday allowance pro-rata, can any other part-timers tell me how many days/hours holiday that equates to?

Thank you.

Thank you.

If your contract is over 5 days then you get the same number of days as everyone else, the pro rata part is that FTimer get 7:48 hours per day (on average) but you get 4 hours.

Thank you, that makes sense now.

I'm also on a 20h 5 out of 7 days Monday-saturday contract and have 22.5 days off. If I wanted to book a week off would that use 5 or 6 days holiday?
Thanks

It would use 5 days, so you have four full weeks off plus an additional 2.5 days plus your (usually) 8 days bank holiday per year. IF you your day off in any given week coincides with a bank holiday then you can either take a day in lieu or take payment for that day.
