This can be expressed as 6.6 weeks’ holiday (33 ÷ 5 = 6.6). So, if a full time employee is entitled to 25 days annual leave plus eight bank holidays, this gives a total of 33 days per annum. The easiest and fairest way of calculating entitlements is to deal with all the holidays as an inclusive amount. If an employee is not normally contracted or scheduled to work on a day when a bank holiday falls, this does not affect their holiday entitlement as it is not a working day. If an employee is normally scheduled to work on a bank holiday and receives this day off as a fixed holiday, their holiday entitlement should automatically be reduced by one day. The Tuesday worker will only incur fixed bank holidays when Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day Fall on a Tuesday.)
(At least four days of a Monday worker’s holidays will be fixed bank holidays. This is because most bank holidays fall on a Monday, so a part-timer who works on a Monday will have a higher proportion of their holidays “fixed” than a colleague working on a Tuesday or Wednesday for example. Problems can arise where employees are entitled to bank holidays off work on top of their annual leave entitlement. More may be offered in Scotland and Northern Ireland but the statutory provision is eight. There are normally eight specified bank holidays each year. Statutory provision is capped at 28 days and even though some employees may work 6 or 7 days per week, their entitlement will remain at 28 days. So, if an employee has 26.4 days holidays, the holidays may be rounded up to 26.5 days, but they may not be reduced to 26 days. There is no obligation to round up the leave, but you can do so if preferred. If you wish to give more holidays than the statutory entitlement you must ensure that your part time employees also receive the additional entitlement on a pro rata basis.įor example, if full-time workers are entitled to 33 days’ holiday per year, a person who works four days per week should be entitled to take 26.4 days’ holiday per year (4 ÷ 5 x 33 = 26.4).īy law, you cannot round down the leave. To calculate their holiday entitlement, use the following formula:ĥ.6 days x number of working days = Holiday entitlement Examples of annual leave entitlement for part-time workers Part-timer’s working week Holiday entitlement calculations are a bit trickier for part-time employees… But don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it.Ī part-time employee is pro-rated to a full-time employee’s entitlement and is based around their working week. How to easily calculate holiday entitlement for part-time workers You probably know that full-time employees are entitled to 28 days’ paid annual leave.
