Frequently asked questions
How much holiday am I entitled to?
Almost all workers get at least 5.6 weeks' paid holiday a year. Someone working 5 days a week gets 28 days, which is the maximum statutory amount. Your employer can include bank holidays in this.
How is part-time holiday worked out?
Multiply your working days (or hours) per week by 5.6. Working 3 days a week gives 16.8 days.
What about irregular hours or zero-hours contracts?
For leave years starting on or after 1 April 2024, irregular-hours and part-year workers build up holiday at 12.07% of the hours they actually work in each pay period.
I started or left part-way through the year
Your holiday is worked out in proportion to the part of the leave year you work. Use the months box to get your pro rata amount.
