How to deal with annual leave for part-timers

It will depend on your own preference as the HR manager, how you proceed.

Both examples work, but some will suit different companies in different ways.

EXAMPLE: Liz works Monday to Friday from 9.30 to 1.30. (20 hours)

The company works 40 hours a week in general, with 20 days Annual Leave.

So Liz is entitled to 10 days Annual Leave as a part timer.

Option 1:

Put 10 days Annual Leave in Liz’s account.

When Liz requests Annual leave, she requests only a half day (am).

This will reduce her AL from 10 to 9.5.

So Liz has 20 half days holidays available to her.

Option 2:

Put 20 days Annual Leave in Liz’s account.

When Liz requests Annual leave, she requests a full day (her full day being 4 hours).

This will reduce her AL from 20 to 19.

So Liz has 20 of her working days holidays available to her.
