Staff on Regular Hours

The legal minimum is 5.6 weeks a year, capped at 28 days. Someone working 3 days a week gets 16.8 days, which PixelHRM rounds up to 17. It never rounds down below the legal minimum.

If your full-time allowance is more than 28 days, part-timers get the same, pro rata.

Irregular and Zero Hours

Staff on irregular or zero hours contracts build up holiday at 12.07% of the hours they work, from their approved clock-in hours or the hours you add.

Starters and Leavers

Starters and leavers get a pro rata allowance for the part of the holiday year they work.

Your Rules

  • When your holiday year starts.
  • Whether bank holidays are part of the allowance or on top.
  • How many days can be carried over.
  • How much notice staff should give.
Agreed Something Different?Put it in Holiday a year on their record and it is used instead, as long as it is not below the legal minimum.
