What is a pro-rata salary?
Pro-rata salaries are calculated according to what percentage of a full-time job your hours make up if you work part time [ie less than full-time hours]. For example, if you work two days a week and a full-time person in your position gets £18,000. You will get two fifths of that for a pro rata salary.
Some pro-rata salaries are fairly easy to work out: if you do three full days, you would just get three fifths of the full-time salary. However, if you work shorter days, you would need to work out your salary based on the percentage of full-time hours per week that you work.
The same goes for holidays. A part-time worker will get a pro rata of a full-time worker’s holiday entitlement. The minimum holiday entitlement for full-time workers is 28 days. This may or may not include bank holidays, but bank holidays do not have to be given as additional to the 28 days.

DAVID NUCKLEY says:
Can a company doc you some of your holiday entitlement if you are absent for long periods. For example, if you are recovering from bypass surgery.
Mandy Garner says:
If you are on sick leave you continue to accrue holiday – see https://www.employmentlawworldview.com/new-acas-guidance-on-holiday-pay-and-accrual-during-sickness/#:~:text=The%20accepted%20wisdom%20is%20that,to%20carry%20that%20leave%20over%E2%80%9D.
