Can someone please tell me how to workout out annual leave entitlement. Started a fixed term contract on 4th August 09 to end on 31/12/09. Leave for 12month period is 25 days. What is the pro ratta figure for the term of my contract?

Thanks
 
If you work for 5 Months then you should get 5/12ths of 25 days. What does your contract say?
 
Thank you! unless I hear differently I will take it that it is 5 12th of 25 which is 10.42!

Regards
 
There are 3 different ways of calculating your annual leave entitlement:
There are 3 ways to calculate a/l entitlements.
1. when you have worked 1,365 hours in the year , which doesn't apply in your case.
2. 1/3 or a week for each month you worked 117 hours - assuming you work 117 hours every month from Aug to Dec, this would give you a/l entitlement of 65 hours
3. 8% of the hours you worked - again, assuming a 39 hour week this would give you 67.44 hours.

Whatever calculation gives you the most entitlement is the one that applies.
In your case, that would be option 3, which gives you 67.44 hours, or 8.5 days (roughly)

I think my sums are right, but open to correction on them if not......

Sorry - ETA - this is just for basic statutory entitlement - I see that you company is paying above the basic, i.e. 25 days, so above won't apply. Will leave up in case it of use to anyone else reading though..
