About Leave Tracker

What is on this site

One question, "leave tracker", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Irregular hours and part-year holiday entitlement: the 12.07% rule: Since leave years beginning on or after 1 April 2024, irregular hours and part-year workers accrue 12.07% of hours worked. What that covers and what it does not.
• Bank holidays and annual leave: inside the 5.6 weeks or on top?: Bank holidays are not a statutory entitlement in the UK. Whether they come out of the 5.6 weeks or sit above it is a contract question, and it changes the balance.
• Carrying over annual leave: the 8 day rule and its exceptions: Workers can normally carry over a maximum of 8 days with the employer's agreement. Family leave is the exception, and sickness is treated differently again.
• Part-time holiday entitlement: pro-rating that survives a tribunal: Part-time statutory leave is days worked per week multiplied by 5.6. The pro-rating errors that survive in spreadsheets, and how to spot them in a balance.

Leave Tracker is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to gov.uk, Acas or any government body, and it is not a law firm or an employment adviser. Nothing here is legal advice on any individual case. The figures are the statutory minimum under the Working Time Regulations 1998 as described by gov.uk and Acas on the date shown, and a contract of employment can only improve on them, so where your contract and this page disagree the contract governs. We publish no figure that is not taken from a source cited on this page, and we take no payment from any employer or worker for the calculation.
