I recently asked to work 4 out of 5 days a week.



The company came back with a contract amendment which looks fine, however there is one change which I do not understand:



The exact wording is:




Your annual leave and entitlement to Bank Holidays have been pro-rated.
For the remainder of this holiday year you will accrue a total of 6
days which include Bank Holidays. Therefore, when you are off on a
Bank Holiday this will need to be booked as leave.




I haven't signed yet. I checked on my holiday balance, and I currently have a 7 days balance. So it seems this will take one day off from now until the end of the year?



What calculation did they do, and how can I see what it will be for next year?






time-off part-time holidays

          This is perfectly normal. It means that your holidays have been reduced, proportionally, based on the days you're working. You're working 20% less, so you're entitled to 20% less holiday.



          Or in other words, if you multiply your current holiday entitlement by 0.8, you have your new holiday entitlement.

            That makes sense - do you have any idea if it is easy to negotiating keeping the same holiday number?

            @nha that would effectively be asking for a raise, since you'll be getting proportionally more free time.

            @nha I'd say very unlikely, especially because you asked to work part time. If they cut your hours and mandated that you worked part time, then you might have more leeway for negotiation.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

          Confectionery

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
