Hi.
I started on 18th November and have survived starting at Christmas!! I was wondering as I get 22.5 days off a year will I get a proportion of that which I will need to take by end of March.Then I assume the days start fresh in April? I work 30 hours part time so guess I will be paid 6 hours a day off.

Your manager should have given you already the Annual leave card with this year`s holidays, if not, ask him for yours, you should get about 8 days paid holiday for the 4- 1/2 months you worked.

Yes - when you take a day of annual leave this will be 6 hours. Also you would be able to carry 5 days A/L over to the next financial year. But as you have not completed a year yet I would check with your manager if this is allowed in your case - But if approved make sure you get it in writing.
Also keep the application for A/L - part B employee copy receipt - for future reference.

As janet Brum says you would be due about 8 days. Actual 52 hours (as leave is calculated in hours) also you would receive 8 bank holidays (pro-rata)
