Part-time hours condensed due to bank holiday

Anna

Hello!

I have an employee who works 30hrs per week (Mon - Fri).  

Due to the bank holiday, we closed the business on Monday and she was expected to work her 30hrs in the remaining 4 days of the week.

All other employees are full-time and can't squash their 40hrs into 4 days and therefore haven't.

Is this lawful in ROI?

Thanks!

  • Everyone is entitled to a minimum of 5.6 days per annum. This can include bank holidays. The contract should be clear on the amount of leave and if it incudes bank holidays or if they are additional to the leave allocation. To add to the mix if you had a part time person who worked Tues-Fri then they would not be expected to take leave on a day they don't work, but they are still entitled to receive leave in respect of the bank holidays, but again this can be included in the 5.6 weeks. As ever, check the wording of the contract. This employee as a minimum should have 28 days or 168 hours leave to take. Hope this helps.
