How it's worked out

28 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 156.8 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 28 hours a week?
Twenty-eight hours a week earns 156.8 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (28 × 5.6). That's roughly four seven-hour days.
Is 28 hours close to full-time?
It's about three-quarters of a 37.5-hour week, so you're firmly part-time but not far off. Your entitlement scales with your hours, not with any full/part-time label.
Do I get a share of bank holidays?
You should. Part-timers are entitled to a pro-rated share of any bank holidays the employer gives on top, so you're not penalised for the days you don't work.
