I work 17 hours a week, does anyone know if I am entitled to any holiday pay? If so, how do I ask my employer for holiday pay?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

I am assuming you are in the UK - If you are, you are entitled to a minimum of 4 weeks times your weekly working hours per annum - so it will be 4 x 17 = 68 hours per annum, which should translate to around about 8.5 days per year if you are working 8 hour days? You are entitled to it by law, so you should really just have to put a leave request in.

nearly all workers are entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday, so in your case this would be 4x17 hours. if there are full time workers in the same employment and they get bank/public holidays you would also be entitled to a pro rata share of these.
your employer can tell you when to take your holidays and can refuse your request if the timing doesnt suit him. to get holidays you have to request them from employer and if you do not have a written statement of terms and conditions stating how much notice you have to give the general rule is double the amount of holiday you want to take so if you want a week off give two weeks notice. your employer then has half of that time to answwer.
there are afew exceptions to who is entitled and this would be offshore workers, people who work in transport, police and armed forces.
all this is of course if you work in the UK. otherwise i dont know.

Hi
Most workers - whether part-time or full-time - are legally entitled to four weeks' paid annual leave. Additional annual leave may be agreed as part of a worker's contract.
A week's leave should allow workers to be away from work for a week - ie it should be the same amount of time as the working week. If a worker does a five-day week, he or she is entitled to 20 days leave. If he or she does a three-day week, the entitlement is 12 days leave. Employers can set the times that workers take their leave, for example for a Christmas shutdown. If a worker's employment ends, he or she has a right to be paid for the leave time due and not taken.
This enshrined in employment law. Go to the ACAS website or the DTI.
Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

Yes you are. Every worker is entitled to 20 days holiday pro-rata. This does NOT include bank holidays though there is a consultation ongoing (open til April 13th) to increase the amount of holidays to include bank holidays for those that do not already get them paid.
For a 17 hour work week, it sounds as if you would be entitled to 10 full days per year off. Talk to your boss about when you would like to take holiday. And if he gives you schtick, complain about them to the Department of Trade and Industry.

You are eligible for time + 1/2 if you work over 40 hours. It's up to the employer to pay extra for working a holiday.

In my company you have to accrue holidays then you can take what you have accrued. Where i work it does not depend in the hours that you work but on the days that you work. All employees are entiltled to 4 weeks off, therefore if you do 2 days a week you are entitled to 8 days off a years as this is in theory 4 weeks off for you.

yes you are as long as it is a permanent contract (permanent but on a temporary basis is same too ) you should accumulate a week for every 3 months served in your first year and then automatically get 20 days (sometimes more) a year entitlement thereafter, this runs from April to April, if you leave employment before taking your entitlement then you will be paid any owing, likewise if you take holiday and then leave it will be deducted from your final pay. Just ask your boss for a holiday request form and put in for it.

Holiday pay is already INCLUDED in your pay.
I worked 18 hours a week in my last job, I was entitled to half the holiday that a Full Time Employee gets.

I work 15 hours a week and I get holiday pay... Not sure why you wouldn't be. Can you ask a colleague? Depends on your contract. If it's temporary maybe not....

If you work in the U.S. - employers are not required to pay employees for working holidays. I can not comment on other countries.
