How to I calculate holiday pay entitlement for my employees?
All employees have a basic annual leave entitlement of 4 weeks. For permanent employees with set hours, annual leave is relatively straightforward to calculate and apply. However, if your employee is on a temporary contract or works variable hours, the calculation is more complex. Information can be found here.
Holiday pay should be paid at the employee’s normal rate of pay. Most employees are also entitled to paid leave on public holidays. Instead of giving employees a paid day off you can instead give an extra day of annual leave in lieu, or an additional day’s pay.
