We have an employee who works 3 full days and 1 half day per week. Using the online holiday entitlement calculator it says they are entitled to 137.2 hours which works out at 19 full days and almost a half day. Our business is closed 17days per year and employees are required to use annual leave to cover these day, due to this our employee only has 2½ days annual leave to use as they wish. To me this doesn't seem overly fair, should there not be the option to take business closure as unpaid leave. Would like to hear some opinions on this as unsure how to best manage this as the employee is asking questions
Do you give them the option of working a different day of the week if one of their working days is on a b/h? This is the approach we take. It may not work out if they are dependant on childcare but it could give them more flexibility.
