Bank holiday - part time employee entitlement

    Hi

    Im a little confused as to the entitlement of a part time employee to be paid for a bank holiday.

    If a part time employee works the bank holiday - they are entitled to the hours worked and an average of the last 13 weeks hours worked. So if they worked say 280 hrs over the last 13 weeks they are entitled to an additional 2.87days i.e 280/13weeks/7.5hrs.


    If a part time employee does not work on the bank holiday but has worked at least 40 hours in the 5 weeks before the bank holiday, they are entitled to one-fifth of their weekly pay. Does this mean if they worked say 20hrs each week over 5 weeks, its 100 hours so they get paid for 4 hours??

    Thanks

    280/13/5 assuming 5 day week = 4.31 BH hours

    For the employee that doesn't work they get a 25th of what they earned in the last 5 weeks (assuming, as you mentioned, they've worked 40hrs in the last 5 weeks).

    <adds> it may not be best to keep to hours as you have done in your example as you might miss out on different pay rates for different hours worked. I.E. Overtime should also be included, which usually has a premium.
