To work out 28 days pro rata holiday, first determine the number of days you work per week. For example, if you work 5 days a week, you’re entitled to 5.6 weeks of holiday (28 days). For part-time workers working 3 days a week, calculate pro rata by multiplying 3 days by 5.6 weeks (3 x 5.6 = 16.8 days of holiday per year). Always round the figure up to the nearest half or whole day to comply with regulations.
