Managing holidays for part time salaried employees

Hi {@005D000000AKFa7IAH}​ {@005D0000009gaQpIAI}​ {@005D000000AESgJIAX}​ 

This is a tricky one and not one that has a simple answer as it may depend on the wording in your contracts.

From a system perspective.

HMRC guidelines state that a part time employee is entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday a year and this will account for bank holiday days. Full entitlement would be 28 days. (8 Bank holiday days)

An employee with an allowance equating to 5.6 weeks a year (28 days or pro rota ed equivalent) will book off all holiday including any that fall on bank holiday days regardless of whether the office is closed or not.

For example

If an employee works 3 days a week their entitlement is 5.6 x 3 = 16.8 (17 days)

An employee that works Mondays will need to book bank holiday Mondays off. An employee that doesn't work Mondays will not need to as it is not a working day and therefore not a holiday.

PLEASE NOTE,

If your job titles have already had Bank holidays removed. i.e they are displaying 20 days for a Full time employee (28- 8 bank holiday days), a part time employee's holiday will need to be overridden based on their working days. You should calculate their working days x 5.6 and minus any bank holiday days that they will not work based on their working pattern, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.

Pleas let me know if you need any further clarification.
