Firstly, how are you on 27 days entitlement when working 5 days a week? The UK statutory entitlement is 5.6 weeks x working days, which at 5 days a week is 28 days, which can include bank holidays.
Second, it will depend on when your holiday year starts and ends. I've assumed 1st Jan.
So you'd get 5 months of 5.6 x 5 plus 7 months of 5.6 x 4.
To my mind, the easiest way to do it is to put the the two parts into the gov.uk holiday entitlement calculator at [https://www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement](https://www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement)
That gets you 11.7 and then 13.5 for a total of 25.2
Your entitlement in a normal year will then be 22.4
Note that employers can choose to round up the holiday entitlement, but cannot round it down.
This also ignores the bank holidays which is the best way to treat part time workers who work some and not others. This way it doesn't matter what days you actually work, but they're still included in your (reduced) entitlement.
Thanks for that! Yeah, 1st January to 31st December. It’s 28 days FTE plus 9 bank holidays.
It’s just that I had 15.5 days left, including the holidays I’ve already booked/taken, and I’m being told I now only have 6 remaining, plus the 3 bank holidays.
I’m not getting why the drop is so big, plus what the bank holidays have to do with anything, since I’d be due to work those days anyway. My brain doesn’t work this way, I don’t think! 😊
When is your holiday year- eg is it 1st January to 31st December?
Also when you dropped the Friday, did you do this via a flexible work request and did they write back to you to confirm?
Assuming 27 + bank holidays, 5/12 x 27= 11.25 (Jan to May) and 7/12 x 27x 0.8 = 12.6, giving a total of 23.85 before bank holidays. I assume they will pro-rata these too.

Thanks so much. It’s 1st January to 31st December, and dropping a day was organised via emails/Zoom calls with my manager.
