Can someone who knows employment law please help me out???
Can you tell me how many days someone should get per year that works 24 hours a week over 3 days a week. And does this include bank holidays or not?????
Lea :) :)

I share a job, which in total is 30 hours over 5 days. The job's holiday entitlement is 4 weeks a year - so if one person did the whole job they'd get 4 weeks paid. Because it's shared we each take 4 weeks off, but only get paid for our usual hours; someone who only does 6 hours a week would only get 6 hours' pay for that week's holiday. So I'd say you're entitled to 4 week's off, but only get paid for the hours you'd do in each of those weeks.

it should work on a pro rata basis per shift.

look at the acas web site that will give you good advice, but holiday entitlement is about to change anyway

> holiday entitlement is about to change anyway

Whoopeee :-D

Dont forget the Bank Holidays are included in that entitlement amount if your employer chooses to do so...

Our staff get 5.6 weeks per year of whatever hours they work. That includes bank holidays as they are treated as a normal working day.

Just been reading your link Isabel as I've been wondering about for some time now.  I work for a company (5 days a week, same office) but on a self employed basis e.g I am responsible for my own tax & NI deductions, but I am paid a basic salary plus commission.  I am not paid any sick leave & have been told I can have 4 weeks per year holiday entitlement excluding bank holidays & we normally close over the whole Xmas period.  My partner's holiday allowance has increased & he now has 5 weeks per year off, 3 weeks of this are in August.  To conincide with his holiday I asked to take the 3 weeks off in August & to take additional 2 weeks to match his days off.  I was however told that I was not allowed 3 weeks off at any one period of time (even though they allowed me to do this this year) & that my entitlement was 4 weeks only.  I must add here that when I take holidays I still receive any commission due but am not paid my basic weekly wage.

Where do I stand with all this? Can anyone help.

Sorry to OP for hijacking your post!
