Agency Worker and Public Holiday

    Hi, I have a temporary contract with an Agency. By the time the next bank holiday comes around I won't have worked 40 hours and on my contract it says I am only entitled to Public holidays if I have worked 40 hours in the previous 5 weeks. I was under the impression this only applied to part time workers. I don't have fixed working hours on my contract but I will be working at least 40 hours a week until January. I am already rostered to work 80 hours my first two weeks.

    Is it correct that I am not entitled to public holiday pay as a temp worker if I have not worked 40 hours in the previous 5 weeks? I can't find anything that specifically mentions temp workers in regards to this

    I believe it's 40 hours in total over the 5 weeks, not 40 hours for each of those five weeks. But you only get paid for the average hours you would work in a day.

    (If I'm wrong, you and I both won't be getting paid for the 31st!)
