To determine an employee’s holiday entitlement, you can multiply the number of days they work per week by 5.6. For instance, the statutory paid holiday of a part-time employee working three days a week would be worked out as follows: 3 x 5.6 = 16.8 days.

There's a legal entitlement for all workers of 5.6 weeks holiday per year, which equates to 28 days for a person who works 5 days a week. The simple calculation for a full-time worker The easiest way to work out the number of days annual allowance you should take your number of days worked a week and multiply this number by 5.6

The basic way to work out how many days holiday an employee is entitled to is to multiply the number of days a week they work by 5.6. That gives someone working a five-day week the 28 days we’ve already mentioned. Someone who is part-time and only works three days a week would be entitled to 3 x 5.6 = 16.8 days.

You can use this formula to calculate leavers’ holiday entitlement: Full annual holiday entitlement (in days) x months worked ÷ 12 For example, if you offer 28 days of holiday leave per year, and your team member is leaving on July 1st, it will be: 28 x 6 (months worked) ÷ 12 = 14 days of allowance remaining

An employee's holiday pay should be calculated from the last full week that they worked. This can end on or before the first day of the employee's holiday. Another 7-day period should only be used if that's how the employee's pay is calculated. For example, an employee's pay is calculated by a week ending on a Wednesday.
