Campus Support Holiday Calculation

As shift workers, Campus Support staff have their holidays calculated differently. Since all shifts are 11 hours long (plus a 1-hour unpaid break) and follow a 4-on, 4-off pattern, the calculation ensures equivalent holiday entitlement in proportion to average shifts worked.

The shift pattern repeats over 8 weeks, during which staff work 28 shifts. This averages to 3.5 shifts per week (28 shifts ÷ 8 weeks). The calculation below applies this ratio to standard holiday entitlement.

Campus Support Holiday Entitlement (Based on Shift Pattern)

Additional Notes:

• Campus Support holidays are based on shifts, rather than standard working days
• Campus Support staff work 182 shifts per year, compared to 260 working days per year for non-shift workers.
• The calculation aligns with Government Guidance regarding shift workers holiday entitlement, ensuring fairness and consistency with other staff groups.
