How do i work out holiday allowance for part time work?

Question

I work 4 half days and 1 full per week, so basically i work 3 days per week. My boss gives me 17 days paid holiday per year worked out due to my part time status. I have previously worked out holiday as per my 1/2days and full day ie. if i take a week off it is considered 3 days out of my 17, if i take 1 day off it is a 1/2 day out of my 17. Suddenly my boss has turned round and said that this is incorrect. that if i take a day off, that is a full day out of the 17 and like wise if i take a week that is 5 days. Please help is this correct? I don't see how she can be right.

Answer 1

Do you have an HR department you can go to for advice?  If so they should have the guidelines for what you're experiencing with your boss.  Don't give up without a fight though, you can use the fact that you were being treated one way and now differently to your advantage.  But in the end, if your happy with where your at and don't want to find another job then you will have to accept whatever the final decision is.

Answer 2

i think yr boss is correct however the fact that u work one full day and the rest part days does complicate it a bit.  i used to work 4 mornings a week so my holiday entitlement (4 wks) was 4 x 4 mornings off - 16 mornings off.
