Holiday Pay and Bank Holidays

[Stargrower]

My full time staff get 20 days paid holiday per year plus Bank Holidays. I have a part time member of staff who works three days per week and doesn't work Mondays. Should she be paid for Bank Holidays?

Not for any that are not in her usual work pattern. So, if she normally works on Fridays, I'd pay her for Good Friday, but not Easter Monday for instance.

Yes same here. Only if it's a working day normally.

Thanks N and F! :1b

thats what we do too

How I do it is they get 28 days including bank holidays so if she works 3 days out of 5 she will get 3/5 so she should have 17 days altogether over the year! I do it by hours though as it's unfair if people do different hours on different days if that makes sense - so if they always take holiday on a long working day unfair on us and a short working day unfair on them!x

Hi Woodlands

I have just realised that this is the right way to do it, otherwise staff who don't work on Mondays (when most bank holidays fall) are at a disadvantage. I had been calculating holiday pay the other way for years! All change! Our holiday year runs from 1st September so at least I can start the new system now without too much of a headache.
