MyView holiday entitlement
How is my leave calculated?
- To view your entitlement including bought and carried forward holiday, in MyView please click on My Leave and Team Calendar, Team Leave Calendar and then click on your name.
- Your entitlement includes the hours for bank holidays and minimum service days (pro rata for part time staff).
- If you are full time, you will see that your bank holidays and minimum service days have been booked for you, this will show as 'leave taken'. You will also see that any carried forward hours will have been used to book this leave as those hours are used first, this does not alter your total entitlement, you will still have the carried forward leave to use as holiday.
- Please see the examples below of how your leave is calculated or use the calculator below as a guide (please note that MyView will round up the hours so this calculation may not match exactly).
This calculator may also be useful if you are thinking of changing your hours. Please note that it is not currently possible to use this calculator if you are on a part time, part year contract.
Holiday Calculator - 2024-25 [XLSX 21.22KB] - Staff who start or finish employment part way through the leave year, will be entitled to the pro-rata entitlement of annual leave, bank holidays and minimum service days, according to the number of days worked in the leave year. This ensures that all staff receive the same amount of leave regardless of when they join or leave and also ensures the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ meets the statutory entilement for all staff.
If you are leaving the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ and wish to know the exact amount of leave you have remaining on your leave date, please contact your HRAdmin contact for your area. Holiday is already pro-rated on MyView for staff on fixed term contracts.

Full time staff:
Your leave is displayed in hours as above according to your terms and conditions as of 1st October. You will see on MyView that all bank holidays and minimum service days have been booked for you by the HR department and will show under 'leave taken', your remaining balance is your holiday entitlement.
Example of a full time Grade 4 new contract starting on 1 November to 30 September (334 days worked):
(255.5 has been round to 256)
256 hours ÷ 365 days x 334 days = 234 hours
234 hours - 109.5 hours (the 9 bank holidays and 6 minimum service days that fall during the period) = 124.5 hours bookable annual leave entitlement.
Example of a full time, Grade 7, fixed term contract from 1 October to 31 March (182 days worked):
(292.5 rounded to 293)
293 hours ÷ 365 days x 182 days = 146 hours
146 hours - 52.5 hours (the 3 bank holidays and 4 minimum service days that fall in the period) = 90.5 hours bookable annual leave entitlement.
Example of a full time, Grade 7, fixed term contract from 1 November to 31 March (151 days worked):
(292.5 rounded to 293)
293 hours ÷ 365 days x 151 days = 121.5 hours
121.5 hours - 52.5 (the 3 bank holidays and 4 minimum service days that fall in the period) = 69 hours bookable annual leave entitlement.
Full time staff working compressed hours/shift work:
As above, but you must use your entitlement to book your own bank holidays and minimum service that fall on your working days.
Part time staff:
Your leave is displayed in hours according to your terms and conditions as of 1st October. This entitlement includes your allowance for bank holidays and minimum service days, you must book the hours on these days if they fall on your normal working days.
The leave is calculated by adding together (in hours) the full time entitlement to annual leave, bank holidays and minimum service days and then dividing by the full time working week (see table above) and then multiplying by your weekly hours.
Example of a 30 hour per week part time, Grade 7 full year contract from 1 October to 30 September:
(292.5 rounded to 293)
293 ÷ 37.5 x 30 = 234.4 hours
The staff member must then use this entitlement to book the hours they would normally work on the bank holidays and minimum service days that fall on their normal working days. The remaining hours can be used for annual leave.
Example of a 30 hours per week, paid for 30 weeks per year, Grade 9 part-time part-year contract:
(292.5 rounded to 293)
293 hours ÷ 52 x 30 = 169 hours
169 ÷ 37.5 x 30 hours = 135.2 hours total leave
The staff member must then use this entitlement to book the hours they work on the bank holidays and minimum service days that fall on their normal working days. The remaining hours can be used for annual leave.
