How it's worked out

24 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 134.4 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 do I get for 24 hours a week?
Twenty-four hours a week earns 134.4 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (24 × 5.6). That's commonly three eight-hour days.
I work three 8-hour days — is 16.8 days the same?
Yes. 134.4 hours divided by 8-hour shifts is 16.8 days, matching the 3-day-week figure. Hours and days give the same answer when every shift is the same length.
What if some weeks I work extra?
Occasional extra hours don't usually change your contracted accrual, but consistently higher hours should be reflected. If hours vary a lot, consider the 12.07% method.
