How it's worked out

16 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 89.6 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

What holiday am I owed for 16 hours a week?
Sixteen hours a week earns 89.6 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (16 × 5.6). Update the statutory-weeks figure if your full-time colleagues get more than 5.6 weeks.
Is 16 hours a common threshold?
Sixteen hours matters for some benefits calculations, but not for holiday. Holiday accrues on the same 5.6-week basis at any number of hours.
How many days off is 89.6 hours?
It depends on shift length. Across four-hour shifts that's about 22 shifts; across eight-hour shifts it's roughly 11 days. Book leave at the length of the shift you're taking off.
