Full Credential Description
My client had a number of workers working four days a week and had previously been calculating holiday entitlement with regards to Bank Holidays based on if the employee worked on the Bank Holiday. Our client wanted to treat all its employees fairly and we looked into this and calculated options. Our client has now changed from using the “normal working day” approach for calculating Bank Holiday entitlement for part-time workers to a “pro rata” approach which to my client and Carol seemed far fairer.
(The downside of this for Mandy is that she will under the pro rata system receive less entitlement to Bank Holidays. ) My advice on this is that if you as an employer have part-time workers, you should review how you calculate Bank Holidays to ensure fairness to all and to avoid a claim of less favourable treatment based on the employee’s part-time status or even a potential indirect sex discrimination claim.
