Bank Holiday Entitlement for Part Time Workers

A question about : Bank Holiday Entitlement for Part Time Workers

I have researched this topic as much as I can online and still can't find a viable answer.

I understand part time workers must not be treated less favourably than full time workers and that if a FT worker is entitled to 20 days annual leave plus the 8 bank holidays, the PT worker must also be entitled to that pro rata.

If a PT worker's days are, say, Monday to Wednesday then they would get 12 days annual leave plus 4.8 bank holidays. There are 5 public holidays that fall on Mondays so that's fairly straight forward. (This is assuming the company closes for all bank / public holidays)

My query is that if a PT worker's normal working days are, say, Monday, Wednesday and Friday and they are expected to take the bank holidays off, as there are 7 bank holidays falling on Monday and Friday in 2015 should they be expected to use the rest of their annual leave for these?

If you work Tues, Wed and Thu then wouldn't you benefit most from this as you would get an additional 4.8 days to your annual leave and be unaffected by the bank holidays?

Something just doesn't seem quite right here.....

Best answers:

• Ah ok - fair enough.
  Thank you for your reply and clarifying it for me.
• The way I always explain it to our part-timers (and my manager, at regular intervals), is that those who work on Mondays get less choice about when to take some of their leave than those who don't.
  When you're working two days a week for six months and you start in November, you get very little choice about when to take your leave if you choose to work on Mondays!
