Employment Law FAQ
Part-timers' Holidays
How do I calculate holidays for an employee who works two
days a week? A fulltime employee working five days a week is
entitled to 24 days of holidays including Bank Holidays.
Part-time employees are entitled to holidays on a pro-rata
basis, so the employee would be entitled to 2/5ths of the annual
entitlement - that's to say 2/5ths of 24 days, totalling 9.6 days
holiday per year. If the Bank Holidays were in addition to their
basic entitlement, they should also receive 2/5ths of the Bank
Holidays irrespective of whether they work on the day the Bank
Holiday falls.
