Bank holiday entitlement

Redsquigy

Sorry if this has been asked before - i started a new job on 23rd July and worked for 40 hours that week and was paid for that week. Salary is paid monthly and is paid on 10th of every month. I received full pay for month of August but was only paid 2.8 hours. I have been told that i must have worked for five weeks before the bank holiday and that i only worked one week before 6th August when the bank holiday occurred. Is this correct? It says in legislation that you have to work 40 hours in the five weeks before bank holiday to be entitled to a full day. Is it five full weeks or just 40 hours over the five weeks. I am confused.

> I received full pay for month of August but was only paid 2.8 hours.

Can you clarify what you mean here?

I was paid for all hours I worked in August (176 hours) - I work 40 hours per week, but was only paid for 2.8 hours for the bank holiday.

Are you a part-time or full time worker? It is my understanding that it only applies to part time / casual working and yes it's based on whether you've worked more than 40 hours over a 5 week period - if you don't work it you are entitled to 1/5 of the working week but if you don't have full time hours (40 hours = 1 day off) it is calculated on the average hours per week worked out on the previous 5 weeks and then 1/5 of that..

W1 10 hours
W2: 22 hours
W3: 34 hours
W4: 16 hours
W5: 2 hours
Total: 84 hours
Average 16.8
1/5 : 3.36 hour bank holiday payment

Apologies - just read there about the 176 hours. In my opinion, they've miscalculated it. I would bring it back to them and ask them to look into it further. I'd also call citizen's info to clarify it and explain that to them

Hi there.
can any of you help with how I could work out the bank holiday entitlements for someone working 4 days a week?
This person works 6 hours a day for 4 days each week.
Thanks in advance

Also the individual does not work Monday as part of their normal working week in the event this is relevant

I am a full time employee working 40 hours a week mon-fri.

Just to clarify i have now been paid for the extra hours I was owed for the bank holiday. Obviously they did not know the legal entitlements!
