I work full time for G4S 37.5, Monday to Friday. I started on 17/4/23 and are still working for them. How do work out my holidays to date??
Hi your video was really useful , I just started a new job on 3rd of June. Based on working 24 hours across 5 days Monday to Friday. Unfortunately because it’s a small charity they haven’t been able to work out what my holiday entitlement is , they offer 25 days annual leave, plus bank holiday. My understanding is that I work the same hours and days every week, so I would have the same entitlement as someone working full time, the only difference is I work less hours . So my understanding is working holiday out according to hours is not necessary in this case, is that right? The only other thing is I started on 3rd of June and the charity’s holiday year started in April. So presumably that’s 2 days off in April and then 2 days in May, 4 days that I lose. So my leave in that case would be still 21 days plus bank holidays ? Have I understood that correctly. Thank you

Yes, you’ve pretty much summed it up. As you work 5 days you’ll be entitled to the same holiday days as full timer. The difference will be reflected in pay, you’ll get your normal pay and they’ll get theirs.

@@silkhelix thank you so much😊
Hi there, l work a five day week, four and a half hours per day, when calculating holidays by the hour it's 5.6 X 22.5hrs = 126 hrs holiday a year. Is that correct? If so how do l break down 126 hrs holiday into days? Do l divide 126hrs by 8hr standard working day? Which gives me 16 days a year holiday l think 🤔Thanks in advance for your help.

If you work 5 days per week you’re entitled to 28 days holiday. Each day will be your normal length. So if you work 5 shorter days your holiday in hours will be less than someone doing 8 hour days but in days it’ll be the same.
So if a part timer has Mondays as regular day off, the Bank Holiday doesn't come out of their allowance? So they would essentially get to take their bank holidays at any other time?

Effectively yes.

Thank you! Looks like Monday is the best weekday to have as a day off then :)
So if my full time colleague gets 5.6 weeks plus bank holidays and I am part time should I get 5.6 weeks plus bank holidays I normally work on ? My boss is trying to tell me I should only get 2 weeks holiday !!!! I work 18 hours a week over 3 days. It’s so upsetting as he’s accusing me that I’m trying to take more holiday than I am entitled to. He’s adamant I should only have 2 weeks because I’m part time

Part time workers are entitled to holidays on a pro-rata basis. So if a part time employee works 18 hours a week, they are entitled to 5.6 x 18 hours of holiday 100.8 hours. The bank holidays are usually pro-rata as well, so 8 bank holidays is 1.6 weeks (1.6 x 18 hours = 28.8hours), however there are some circumstances where bank holidays are given on a normal working day basis, as long as the statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks is met.
If I am a full time employee that start working on the 12th June 2023 - 40 hrs per week, how many hours of leave entitlement I supposed to have till the end of this year 2023

Assuming your annual leave year is 1st Jan to 31st December, there are 29 working weeks between your start date and the end of the year. Statutory minimum is 5.6 weeks, pro-rata will be 5.6/52 x 29 = 3.2 weeks. In hours 3.2 weeks x 40 = 128 hours and in days (assuming 5 days per week) 3.2 x 5 = 16 days. If you're required to take holiday on bank holidays, there are 3 between your start date and the end of the year so that could take the 16 days down to 13. There are some slightly different accrual rules that are not often used in the first year but could be, you may also have annual leave above the statutory minimum which could be applied differently. I hope that helps.
How to calculate for a person who is flexi and worked 82.5 hrs how to calculate annual leave?

That one needs a bit more information. If you're an employer contact us on team@silkhelix.co.uk. If you're an individual the best advice we can give is to contact ACAS (make sure it genuinely is them, many sponsored Google results are not ACAS).
How is holiday calculated if you have worked only 3 weeks last year ending for an employer?

In the first year of service holiday is accrued on 1/12th for each month worked. If someone leaves 3 weeks into a new holiday year you can calculate as 3/52nd e.g. 5.6 / 52 x 3
If employees work overtime, does it effect holiday entitlement?

It may impact their holiday pay which is complex but put simply is based on average earnings.
I have a question. I am looking at a job that is 15hrs a week spread over 5 days, 3hrs a day. We are entitled to 33 day in the company for 36hr week/ 5 day weeks. Even though I am part time, would I still be entitled to 33 days (6 bank holidays included) these hours are spread over 5 days? They also make it additional confusing by giving us our days in hours. 237.6 for a 36hr a week person - on a 5 day basis. This would be 99hrs for me but as I only work 15hrs a week, to get a full week of holiday, I would take 15hrs out of the 99hr entitlement? Still leaving me with the exact same amount of time as a full time person? Am I doing the right maths here?

Yes, your maths is spot on. If you’re 5 days a week then you still get the same number of days as a full timer. Your days are just 3 hours and therefore you’ll be paid for 3 hours whilst on holiday.
