It will probably be easier to calculate the holiday entitlement as shifts. So if a worker works four twelve-hour shifts, followed by four days off (the 'continental' shift pattern), then the average working week is 3½ twelve-hour shifts. So 4.8 weeks' holiday is 4.8 x 3½ = 16.8 twelve-hour shifts.

You need to calculate how many hours a week is worked over the whole year. So if a worker is contracted to work a total of 1,600 hours a year, or 33? hours a week over 48 weeks of the year3, the holiday entitlement is 4.8 weeks x 33? hours a week = 160 hours holiday for the year.

You need to calculate the holiday entitlement in hours. For example, if a worker works a 36-hour week (over four days instead of five days), their annual holiday entitlement is 36 hours x 4.8 weeks = 172.8 hours holiday for the year. Rather than taking a day's holiday, they would take the number of hours that they would have otherwise worked on that day (i.e. for 36 hours worked over four days, they would take 9 hours' holiday for each day otherwise worked).

The Working Time Regulations describe how to calculate the minimum amount a worker should be paid for the holiday entitlement. Any premium rate of pay for bank holidays (such as 'double time') is a contractual matter between employer and workers.

The best time to apply for your visa is one month before your departure. The visa is normally good for entry within 180 days of issuance. Single-entry visa is usually valid for a 30-day visit, which means the visa is only good for 30 days after your entry date.
