Holiday pay

- Start date
Assuming you get 20 days + your banks holidays you get 1.66 days a month, I know some firms make you bank it before you take it esp if your new to the company,But remember if you work for a bank it before you use it firm Xmas is around the corner.

The basics of holiday rights
There is a minimum right to paid holiday, but your employer may offer more than this. The main things you should know about holiday rights are that:
· you are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks paid annual leave (28 days for someone working five days a week)
· part-time workers are entitled to the same level of holiday pro rata (so 5.6 times your usual working week, eg 22.4 days for someone working four days a week)
· you start building up holiday as soon as you start work
· your employer can control when you take your holiday
· you get paid your normal pay for your holiday
· when you finish a job, you get paid for any holiday you have not taken
· bank and public holidays can be included in your minimum entitlement
· you continue to be entitled to your holiday leave throughout your ordinary and additional maternity leave and paternity and adoption leave
Public and bank holidays
You do not have a statutory right to paid leave on bank and public holidays. If your employer gives paid leave on a bank or public holiday, this can count towards your minimum holiday entitlement. There are eight permanent bank and public holidays in England and Wales (nine in Scotland and ten in Northern Ireland).
If you work on a bank or public holiday, there is no automatic right to an enhanced pay rate. What you get paid depends on your contract of employment.
If you are part time and your employer gives workers additional time off on bank holidays, this should be given pro rata to you as well, even if the bank holiday does not fall on your usual work day.

Calculation of Holiday Entitlement
From 2010, the annual holiday entitlement under the CIJC Working Rule Agreement will remain 21
days of industry holidays plus 8 days of Public and Bank Holidays. However, the combined
entitlement of 29 days will now accrue in total on a week by week basis at the rate of 0.558 days per
week of service. These new arrangements commence on Monday 11 January 2010 which is the start
of the new holiday year.
Employee leaving during the year.
To calculate accrued holiday entitlement, it will be necessary to multiply how many weeks the
employee has been employed during the holiday year by 0.558. It is then necessary to calculate how
many days of paid holiday (annual, Public and Bank) the employee has received during the holiday
year. If the employee has been paid for less than the accrued entitlement, a payment in lieu of the
difference must be made with the final wage. However, if the employee has been paid for more
holidays than accrued, an appropriate deduction should be made from the final wage.
Payment.
General
The provisions of the CIJC Working Rule Agreement provide that all holidays (annual, Public and
Bank) are paid at the same rate. Where the employee’s pay does not vary with the amount of work
done, a week’s pay is simply the normal weekly wage for the contractual weekly hours as defined by
the contract of employment. Where the employee’s pay varies with the amount of work done because
of piece work or other productivity bonus arrangements, a week’s pay is arrived at by calculating the
earnings during the normal working week as defined by the contract of employment, averaged over
the 12 complete weeks worked immediately prior to the holiday week. A day’s pay is calculated by
dividing the week’s pay as defined above by the number of hours in the normal week and multiplying it
by the normal hours in the particular day, both as defined by the contract of employment.
Public Holidays
All hours worked on a day designated as a Public Holiday shall be paid for at double time (WR 19.3).
An employee who has worked on a Public Holiday should be given another paid day’s holiday in lieu
and not paid holiday pay for the day worked. The day in lieu should be taken by agreement between
the employee and the employer.
Night Work and Shift Work
In the case of night work or shift work, it is customary for a holiday period to commence and finish at
the start of the shifts which include the midnight preceding or the midnight at the end of the holiday
period for normal day workers.
