Scarlettangel Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I don't know for sure, but I thought BH were as well as holidays not instead of. I don't really know though. Someone will be able to help I am sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 How is her annual leave entitlement calculated - in days or in hours? I'm part time - 25 hours a week - and mine is calculated in hours. During a week when there is a BH, it is considered that I have "worked" 5 hours on that day and so have 20 hours left to work during the rest of the week. So no, it's not counted as part of my annual leave but does affect how many hours I work that week...hope I'm making sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Our part time consultants have to adjust BH pro rata so if they want to take them all they have to take some as annual leave. Full time get them all in addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsy Daisy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The link below will take you to Directgov which is the public services website. This page tells you how to work out your annual leave entitlement http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Emp...ays/DG_10029788 I hope this clears it up for your friend.

littlemice Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 This was taken from business link web site which you can access on www.businesslink.gov.uk It is a great site to help out with lots of issues with employment. I hope this helps "From 1 April 2009, a worker's statutory paid holiday entitlement is 5.6 weeks (28 days for a worker working a five-day week). This can include public and bank holidays. The entitlement for part-time workers is calculated on a pro-rata basis. Prior to 1 April 2009, the entitlement was 4.8 weeks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 WE have just raised all our employees holiday entitlement to 28 days from 24 in line with government guidelines (they also get one day extra for every year of service) but as a result of this we are allowed to take back eight per year PROVIDED we pay them for B/H. This was the original idea of the increases from 20 to 24 and then 24 to 28 so that everybody gets paid B/H So many people are either not aware or flouting the law, whereas our LA has been reminding us of this since this time last year so we could make arrangements for this year when it came into force. Also from April you cannot pay in lieu of holiday or roll it forward to the following year as that is illegal too, its now a case of use it or lose it.
