There are rules for statutory minimum number of paid holidays but your employer may offer better terms

It depends entirely what it says in your contracts of employment.

How many extra hours a week you work may not be relevant, for instance if my contract says 18.5 hours a week and full time is 37 hours, I'll be entitled to 50% of the holiday hours of my full-time colleague, even if I work 24 hours that week. I'd get time off in lieu instead for the extra hours.

Is your main job full time? if so you get 33 days (25 AL + 8 BH) in that, but the p/t one is less easy to answer. More info please!

This may help too.
It's a bit messier if you work very irregular hours

I read it as being two different employers, boxtops, but maybe I misunderstood

[boxtops]

If your main job is FT too, it sounds as if you need to be careful about working time directive --- I know you didn't mention that, but the combined hours of the two jobs shouldn't exceed an average 48 hours p.w.

So are you saying you work in your second, part-time, job for a little over 120 hours (spread over two weeks), mainly while on holiday from your main job?

[boxtops]

That's the way I read it, factor - for instance, a lot of NHS staff have a permanent job, but then do extra hours on the bank.

Maybe I misunderstood all that- maybe the 120 hours in the fortnight includes your main job.
I'm a confused now.
But that link should help you work out your entitlement from your second job

With the maximum statutory holiday being 28 days, to receivw 5 weeks + Bank Holidays is very generous. Employers can include bank and public holidays as part of the statutory entitlement.

boxtops...ref the 48hour week..i have opted out & signed to say so..(government thing)

[boxtops]

Understood, slocjo.

sir.prize, I get that much holiday - standard rate for people in the NHS with long service.

[slocjo]

sir.prize...when I said 5weeks, sorry 25days + bank holidays..

[boxtops]

Yep - 25 working days = 5 weeks

Hi slocjo. I think our query is just about your holiday entitlement in your second job (the part time one). But I'm still unsure how many hours you work and over what period in that part time job. If you have looked at the link I gave and worked out the answer then just let us know please.
