Your entitlement

67.2 hours

How it's worked out

12 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 67.2 hours/year

Audit note

Holding entitlement in hours is the fairest method when shift lengths vary — deduct the actual length of each day you take off. Part-timers can't be capped below their weekly-hours × 5.6 figure.

Frequently asked questions

How many holiday hours for 12 hours a week?
Twelve hours a week earns 67.2 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (12 × 5.6). Enter your real weekly hours if they vary slightly week to week.
My shifts are different lengths — does that matter?
Not for accrual. What matters is your total weekly hours. Because you book leave in hours, an irregular shift pattern is deducted at the actual length of each shift you take off.
Can I carry unused hours into next year?
The four weeks of EU-derived leave generally can't be carried over, but the extra 1.6 weeks can be by agreement. Check your contract for your employer's carry-over policy.
