Can any one help with the holiday pay?

Yuping

Hello,

I am here to ask some kind-hearted people to help me with this payroll question!

I have some staff paid weekly, and each week's wage is not the same amount,as they worked different hours each week. so How to calculate how many holiday hrs were available for them?


Many thanks

Yuping,

For your situation you need two things, firstly you need their contracts or terms and conditions in order to make sure you fully understand the rights they have and to see if there is anything official which determines their entitlement.

Secondly, you need to examine the definition of a weeks pay as paid down in the Employment Rights Act 1996, sections 220 to 234. These give the various calculations depending on the employees specific circumstances.

I suspect your charges are covered by section 222, Remuneration varying according to time of work in which case there are entitled to an average of their pay over the 12 weeks, usually, up to and including the week prior to the holiday starting.

Hope this helps.
