Your entitlement

112 hours

How it's worked out

20 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 112 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 20 hours a week?
Twenty hours a week earns 112 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (20 × 5.6). Against a 40-hour full-time week that's exactly half the full-time entitlement.
Why measure this in hours rather than days?
Because 20 hours can be worked as two 10-hour days, four 5-hour days or something in between. Counting holiday in hours keeps it fair regardless of how the hours are arranged.
What if I sometimes work overtime?
Regular overtime should be reflected in your holiday pay, and if your hours are genuinely variable the 12.07% accrual method may fit better than a fixed weekly figure.
