A first world and pre-pandemic issue but I'm getting my head in knot sorting out leave calculations for a part time worker.
Full time leave is 25 days contractual plus 8 days Bank/Public Holidays so total of 33 days. A full timer's five day week is 37 hours on which basis a working day is 7.4 hours that's hours and decimal fraction, not minutes.
The part timer in question works 24 hours over 3 days so 8 hours a day. So based on days you'd say 33/37*24 = 21.405 so say 21.5 days.
However using hours (which was my former employer's practice for people not conditioned to five days of equal length) seems to give a different result.
For a full timer 33 days of 7.4 hours = 244.2 hours.
Apportion that in same way divide by 37 and multiply by 24 and you get 158.4 hours. Cross checking that for days - dividing by 8 - gives 19.8 days.
Whichever is preferred neither employer or employee is going to die in a ditch over a day and a half. I'm just trying to understand why the answers are different.
For clarity, this relates to colleagues not clients.
