Hi Bridget,

can you rephrase the question please.

does the £30 relate to your hourly rate? If so, is that 5 hours at minimum wage? one hour at £30?

How many hours in a week do you normally work?

As guidance if you work a five day week you are entitled to 28 days holiday unless you have agreed to a contract that forgoes all or part of this entitlement (Generally for additional salary or just to get the job where others would have requested more holiday).

HTH,

Shaun.

Staff with a 16 hour week contract are entitled to 89.6 hours' statutory paid annual leave for the year starting 6 April 2012.

I don't know your age etc but check your minimum wage entitlement.



You have worked 8 months.

Calculating a pro rata leave entitlement :-

89.6 hours divided by 12 (months) x8 months = 59.373 hours times your pay of £5 hour = £298.66



I stress this is my understanding on limited information.

Hi Bridget

I agree with Jay, that it is difficult to give an accurate answer with limited information but if you let us know what your actual weekly hours are, your actual hourly rate, and if it is regular, as apposed to agency working (eg same days, times etc. every week). We might be able to give you more information.

Also, if you profile DOB is correct then at £5/ hr you are being paid below the legal minimum wage.

Bill
