holiday entitlement for part time employee

[mimbot]

hi everyone joined today, i was wondering if anyone might know the holiday entitlement for a part time counter clerk i work 16 hrs ,thanks

[donnac]

I thought it was a standard 5 weeks.
I work 19 hours and I get 5 weeks.
Bank holidays are pro rata I think.

[mimbot]

thank you

Bank holidays are normal you just get your contracted hours paid for that day (3.2 if its a five day week for you I guess, probably 4hrs for 4 day week). I guess you need to be employed on the bank holiday in question to get it though. For example if you only work Tuesday thru Friday not sure it would apply for a bank holiday monday . Anyway...

New employees get 4.5 weeks i believe at start. You can 'buy' holidays to take your allocation to 6 weeks. You get a slightly lower hourly rate to pay for them.

thank you to everyone

COSA 5.3 BANK HOLIDAY CREDITS
All colleagues (full and part time) due to work on a bank holiday will take the day off and regardless
of the number of hours they were scheduled to work, they will not be required to make up any
shortfall nor claim any balance of hours. E.g.
Scheduled duty
Monday 8.00 (bank holiday)
Tuesday Day Off
Wednesday 9:00
Thursday 7.00
Friday 4.00
Saturday 7.00
Scheduled hours 35.00
If the bank holiday scheduled attendance is greater than a fifth of contractual hours (i.e. 7 hrs) the
colleague is not required to work the shortfall. The colleague is only required to work the remaining
scheduled hours – 27 hours in the example above. I.e. everyone follows their normal scheduled
duty of the whole week with the bank holiday being another day off.
If a scheduled duty has a shorter attendance on a bank holiday than 1/5th of contractual hours then
the opposite applies – in other words the employee does not claim back the difference between the
scheduled attendance and a standard day (1/5th contractual hours) and is effectively losing under
these circumstances. However in most cases the majority of colleagues are seen as benefiting from
the arrangements and over the course of a year, the probability will be that most will gain rather than
lose.
Full and Part Time colleagues with only one rest day whose scheduled day off coincides with a bank
holiday have the choice of two options:-
A day in lieu that can either be added to the annual leave card or moved to another convenient time
(such as the following week) if operationally possible.
or
Overtime can be claimed at normal rate – this will be 1/5th of the weekly contractual hours.
Part time colleagues that have more than one day off each week should be treated equally to full
time colleagues and are entitled to 1/5th of weekly contracted hours in lieu or overtime as detailed
above.
Days off should not be changed deliberately to avoid paying overtime or days in lieu.
For colleagues who are on annual leave over a bank holiday the following arrangements apply:-
If the colleague is on annual leave for the whole week then only 4 days should be shown on their
annual leave card with the other day being the bank holiday absence. In the case of part time
colleagues then only 4/5th of their contractual hours should be shown on their card.

New employees get 4.5 weeks i believe at start. You can 'buy' holidays to take your allocation to 6 weeks. You get a slightly lower hourly rate to pay for them.

Your entitlements for annual leave are:

Under 10 years service - 5 weeks
10-15 years service - 5 weeks 3 days
Over 15 years service - 6 weeks

For full timers on a 5 day week, the days are full days, regardless of the length of the duty you were due to perform that day (winners & losers - if you were due an early finish you lose out, but if you were ona duty of more than 7 hours you gain). For part timers, its based in hours, pro rata to the hours you've worked over the preceding 3 months.

Thats a RML position - it may be different for Counter Staff as they are under a different business.

Opps That will teach me to click on a front page article, indeed, that is a RML position not a post office one :-)
