Holiday pay is simple, right?

The holiday season is in full swing. It seems simple but do you know if you are paying your employees and workers correctly when they have time off?

So, you know the minimum paid holiday per year is 28 days or 5.6 weeks including bank holiday.

And you know you need to pro rata entitlement for people who work part time.

But, do you know these entitlements also apply to workers as well as employees, including Agency Workers?

And do you know what payments need to be included in your holiday pay calculation?

Following various recent employment law cases, you need to take other regular payments such as commission, overtime and shift bonuses in to account in addition to basic pay/salary when calculating how much to pay when your employees and workers take holiday.

This is a complex area and not all payroll software is the easiest to use in making these calculations.
