question re: holiday entitlement at work

[bonacara]

Hi, does anyone know how this works for part time staff (such as myself)

I work 24 hours a week in total, I worked out my holiday entitlement in days and it comes to 16.8 days, but should I not work it out in hours instead?

My thinking is that when I take a day off, I only really have to take 4 hours off as that is how much I work per day (except for a Wednesday when I work 8 hours)

How does it actually work?

Many thanks for your help / ideas / thoughts

Yes, it should be pro-rata based on hours.

So a FTE on 38 hours a week gets, say, 30 days per year annual leave or 228 hours.

If you work 24 hours a week you'd get 228/38 x 24 = 144 hours.

Yes, work out in hours. Or think about it as needing a half day of your 16.8 to take off Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or a whole day to take off a Wednesday.

Way that makes sense to me is thinking about what would happen if you took it all in one go at beginning of the year: if you worked full time and had 28 days holiday, you'd get 5 weeks and 3 days off (or 5.6 weeks). Going part time you should still get 5.6 weeks off, but that's now 16.8 holiday days and you use 3 days of that each time you take a week off.

Yes, you work it out in hours.

You only book off working hours,

And your public holidays are pro ratad too, this part is very confusing.

Thank you for the replies,you confirmed what I thought was the right way of working it all out, it makes sense to work it out in hours.
