Holiday Entitlement

[kaw69]

Hi I am leaving my job soon and my holidays are 4 weeks (28 days) per year 1 week (7 days) every 3 months. I am working for 17 days out of the (90) days for a weeks entitlement so what is my entitlement
TIA

Sorry, but I don't understand.
You say you're working 17 days out of 90, for a weeks entitlement??
Sorry for sounding numb, but that seems far too generous to be true??
Can you explain further please??

normally 1 and half days accrued for each month worked ? plus public hols... you will need to know when your leave year begins...

Ignoring complexities like Bank Holidays and the like, it's (17/90)x7

Which is 1.3 days - if your day is 7.5 hours then call it 10 hours they will owe you.

Your question is hard to follow.

If I read it correctly, now that we're into the 3rd three-month period of the year (July to September), you'll be working 17 days in this month. Assuming that you work 5 days per week, Monday to Friday, you'll be finishing work on 25th July, which is the 206th day of the year. So your total holiday entitlement for this year (from 1st January to 25 July) will be 206/365 x 28 days = 15.8 days. (Many employers would round that up to 16 days but some might call it 15 days and simply pay you for the odd 0.8 of a day).

That 16 day entitlement (if that's what your employer rounds it to) includes all 'enforced holidays' (such as Bank Holidays, if you didn't work on those days) that you've already had, plus any other paid days off you've take already this year. What's left is what you're now entitled to. (The fact that your employer normally works to a pattern of 7 days off every 3 months is irrelevant. It's your TOTAL entitlement for the period orked that matters).

I've assumd that the 28 days holiday your employer gives you is the statutory minimum (for someone who works 5 or 6 days per week), including public holidays. If you actually get 28 days PLUS public holidays, please post again to explain the situation (also confirming the date upon which you'll finish employment).

A holiday week is usually 5 days so do you get 28 days or 4 weeks ?

As 90 days is a little bit short of 3 months Number of days just a little bit less than 17/90 multiplied by 7 - about 1.3 days. But check with your employer as there may for example be a policy on part days and you may already be behind/ahead of your holiday entitlement in terms of days taken so far

Oops- thought this was a new question when it just came on Latest Posts- I can't easily see existing answers.

Posted by Chris //// you'll be working 17 days in this month. ////

That's why I'm confused, 'cos the OP stated,

//// I am working for 17 days out of the (90) ////

..... still doesn't make sense to me :(

^^^ I assumed that the posted was thinking of 30 days per month. (Yes, I know that two of them in the current three month period have 31!). That would explain where the '90' came from.

Thanks Buenchico I knew that you would understand us simple farm folks 30 days is a round figure for a month.
With regard to sunny dave, who has ever worked less than 14 hours a day on a farm, get real.
Bank holidays I work them all, cattle and sheep need feeding milking etc etc
But from all your answers it seems like he owes me about 1 and a half days for the 17 days I am working before I go to my next job.
Thanks to everyone

Such gratitude, how on earth would anyone immediately know you were a farm worker kaw?
