86 views

Pro-rata holiday hours are calculated based on the proportion of full-time hours an employee works. For example, if full-time employees receive 20 days of holiday per year and you work 50% of full-time hours, you would be entitled to 10 days. This ensures that part-time employees receive a fair amount of holiday relative to their working hours.
