Should Public Holidays Be Pro Rata?

What you get paid depends on your contract of employment. If you are part-time and your employer gives workers additional time off on bank holidays, this should be given pro rata to you as well, even if the bank holiday does not fall on your usual work day.

How are pro rata public holidays calculated?

If you work part time, you're still entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid holiday, just in proportion to the hours you work ('pro rata'). You can work this out by the number of days you work a week x 5.6. For example, if you work 3 days a week, you're entitled to 16.8 days' paid holiday (3 x 5.6) a year.

Are public holidays pro rata for part-time workers?

So, however you decide to manage bank holidays, all part-time workers will be entitled to the pro-rata equivalent of full-time workers. This means that irrespective of whether the employee usually works on a Monday or not, they should still receive the same pro-rata allocation of paid holiday days.
