If it’s part of the statutory holiday entitlement then it will normally count as 48 hours for the WTD average 48 hour week.
tnx for that, tachograph
How many hours do you get paid on holiday? If its 40 then put 40, if its 48 put 48
Semtex:

No it’s not correct, for a full week you should book 48 hours, for odd days you should book 8 hours per day.
The idea is that the 48 hours for a full week will neutralise the average so that you don’t reduce the average by having a statutory holiday.
Section 3.5 Calculating the average when leave is taken:
You cannot use the four weeks statutory annual leave provided by regulation 13 of the 1998 Regulations - sick leave, maternity, paternity, adoption or parental leave in order to reduce the average working time performed during the reference period.Annual leave
When using a fixed reference period to calculate average weekly working time “notional” working time figures must be recorded when any of the four weeks statutory leave provided by regulation 13 of the 1998 Regulations is taken. This is to ensure that such leave is ‘neutral’ for the purpose of calculating weekly working time. These notional figures are 48 hours per week and 8 hours per day.
The four weeks statutory holiday referred to in the quote should surely now read 4.8 weeks statutory holiday, someone hasn’t kept the records up-to date 
dont know why,but we book 40 per week when off ie 8 hours aday.it was ok"d by union etc??.

Would that be for the purpose of PAY and not the WTD - 2 seperate issues
to be honest rog,im not sure.it"s just that we are told when we book a weeks holiday,to write on your daily hours 8 per day x5 =40hours.
it"s beyond me!!.
