Pro-rata holidays are calculated based on the proportion of the year an employee has worked. To calculate, divide the total annual holiday entitlement by the number of days in the year (typically 365), then multiply by the number of days worked. For example, if the annual entitlement is 20 days and the employee has worked for 100 days, the calculation is (20/365) * 100 = 5.48 days.
