Compressed hours - holidays and bank holidays

[ldoodle]

Hi,

Anyone done/have guidance on this? Up until now I have to do 35 hours per week (excluding breaks) over 5 days. I get 30 days holiday plus the bank holidays, so 38 total.

I'm trying out compressed hours. I'll be doing 8am-6pm Monday to Thursday, so trying to recalc holiday, and what happens on all the bank holiday Mondays.

Thanks

You had better ask your boss - or union representative.

I would think the "days" holiday would be 7 hours at present, so 210 hours a year.The bank holidays are just bank holidays, you can't take them any other time so will not be affected .

Your leave days will remain as per the above, however you will be short on hours if you take a holiday day mixed with a working compressed week.

I tried a 'compressed hours scheme' many years ago. We basically worked extra hours at standard rate and once we had built up a set amount, (8 hours), we could convert them to a days holiday.
Some of us realised if we just worked a few hours overtime each week then banked the overtime pay we could actually take a day off without pay and still have half a days pay in our bank account or towards another day off later. 6 hours overtime would nett us at least 9 hours pay at time and a half.

Yeah, I've done compressed hours for years. 8.5 hours a day 5 days a week compressed to 37.5 hours pay.
