holiday entitlement

[baldy1926]

Hi
What's the entitlement for part time workers.
My misses has jobs with several different employers so what would she be entitled to is it worked out as a percentage of a full time employee.
Thanks

5.6 times by the days a week she works.

Ie if she works 3 days/week it will be 5.6 x 3 = 16.8 days/year to include bank hols.

Is that for a full day what about part days/ half days

[john2443]

It's the same for part days, multiply the number of days (eg 0.5) by 5.6

This means that everyone gets 5 weeks and 3 days off work.

5.6 is for the minimum legal amount - 20 days plus 8 bank holidays, some employers give more than that.

How would that work for piece rate (for example).?

If a leaflet distributor gets paid £35 to deliver 1000 leaflets (pro rata) in a week, and it's up to him/her when the work is done as long as it's within the week timescale. Would it then be an average of how many leaflets have been delivered over a set number of weeks ie 13 weeks/3 months?

Here's the Northern Ireland guidance.

You only have to work out a special payment where your workers have varying pay rates, such as piece work. In those cases, the holiday pay will be equal to the average rate over the 12 weeks before the holiday.
