Does CHR/002 include bank holidays and extra statutory leave?
The PI guidance states that “Working days/shifts means days/shifts scheduled for work after holidays/leave days have been excluded.” Bank holidays and extra statutory leave, such as an extra day’s leave for all council employees at Christmas or Whitsun should be excluded as they fall into the holidays/leave category. Q: The definition for CHR/002 states that casual employees should be excluded for both the numerator and denominator. With this in mind should we therefore exclude hours worked above a persons contract i.e. overtime? A: Only use the contracted hours. Q: Can you confirm the following statement regarding CHR/002: “For employees who work part-time, the authority should calculate the FTE equivalent for both the numerator and denominator on a consistent basis.” Does this mean that a person working 18.5 hours for example would be a 0.5 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) and therefore if they had 10 days sick it would only be counted as 5 days for FTE reporting? Would the calc be 10 / 0.
