Just one other last query !! Sorry !!!
I only work the school year - not available there for other work - unable to drive bigger licence category vehicles - sign on for job seekers when school closes -
I presume I cannot count school closures for purposes of statutory annual leave as I am not available for work there …..
Closures - Easter / Xmas / mid term breaks x2
Am I correct here ? Thank you
Can you explain this a bit better
Is it you are not available for "other work" and can only work 183 days driving the school bus
Or there is no work available to you from your employer other then the 183 days of driving the school bus
Also can you clarify what happens when the school closes for holidays, you sign on during the summer break but do you sign on for the other holidays like mid term and Christmas
My understanding of your situation is you work 183 days of the year for 5 hours a day which gives you an entitlement of 73 hours of paid leave
183 x 5 x 8%
But again it's my understanding that if he's paying you this holiday entitlement while he has no work for you that this still counts as accruing holiday entitlements so now the calculation is 183 x 5 + 73 x 8% = 79 hours of paid leave
From Citizens Information
When calculating your holiday entitlement, your employer should include all the hours you worked,
including time spent on annual leave
