Your entitlement

84 hours

How it's worked out

15 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 84 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 much holiday for 15 hours a week?
Fifteen hours a week earns 84 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (15 × 5.6). That's a clean figure that divides neatly into shifts of most lengths.
Is 15 hours a week enough to qualify for holiday?
There's no minimum-hours threshold for paid holiday in the UK. Every worker accrues 5.6 weeks pro-rata from their first day, however few hours they work.
How do I check my employer's figure?
Multiply your weekly hours by 5.6. If the number your employer gives is lower than that, ask them to review it — it may be below the statutory minimum.
