xmas holidays

[debt4get]

my daughter works in a call centre 32 hours a week permanent, now working week is monday to sunday and she works 8 hour days 4 days a week, now she has been rota' in this week for mon.tues,wed, then off thurs xmas day, then in friday boxing day, and off sat, sun back in monday.

now is it correct that for this week she would in affect have worked more than 32 hours as xmas day is a statutory bank holiday, and it looks to me as though they are saying you can have xmas day off providing you work extra hours to make up; for it. and in affect she would then be paid for 3 days plus xmas day, plus boxing day, making it 5 days pay or in effect 48 hours

It depends on her contract of employment, there is no law that says you are entitled to Bank Holidays off and indeed, they may just be lumped in as part of her holiday entltlement.

definitely not lumped in with holiday entitlement, she gets 21 days plus bank holidays and if you are working a bank holiday then they add the hours to your holiday entitlement

This is what the .Gov website says.

 

Almost all workers are legally entitled to 5.6 weeks’ paid holiday per year (known as statutory leave entitlement or annual leave). An employer can include bank holidays as part of statutory annual leave.

Self-employed workers aren’t entitled to annual leave.

 

Working 5 days a week

 

Most workers who work a 5-day week must receive 28 days’ paid annual leave per year. This is calculated by multiplying a normal week (5 days) by the annual entitlement of 5.6 weeks.

Working part-time

 

Part-time workers are also entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid holiday each year, although this may amount to fewer actual days of paid holiday than a full-time worker would get.

Example

A worker works 3 days a week. Their leave is calculated by multiplying 3 by 5.6, which comes to 16.8 days of annual paid leave.

 

Irregular hours

 

People working irregular hours - eg shift work or term-time work - need to calculate their leave entitlement for irregular hours.

Limits on statutory leave

 

Statutory paid holiday entitlement is limited to 28 days. Staff working 6 days a week are only entitled to 28 days’ paid holiday and not 33.6 days (5.6 multiplied by 6).

Bank holidays

 

Bank or public holidays do not have to be given as paid leave.

An employer can choose to include bank holidays as part of a worker’s statutory annual leave.
