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?

          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 - you can always ask. It's not likely to be easy.

            @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.
