info on paying holiday pay after finishing with employer

chriz1

Hi,
My mrs has recently moved jobs and we were wondering if she should have her Holiday pay paid out after she finishe,she was part time 16 hrs a week,the only thing is she didnt keep records of what days she took but it wasnt a lot.
How many days should she have been entitled too?
And should she be paid holiday pay after?

When I left my last job, they paid me the holiday I was owed in my next pay cheque. I think she'd have to check her contract for exact entitlements though.

Yes she needs to look at her written particulars - to find out her annual holiday entitlement and also the timing of the holiday year. For example did the company have a standard holiday year starting on 1 January, 1 April or 1 October (or any other date) applicable to everyone or did the holiday year run from the individual staff member's employment commencement date?

You then need to work out the pro rata amount of holiday to which she was entitled at the time she left and find out what she actually had taken.

If there was holiday left over from a previous year, that would have been lost. Any holiday accrued but not taken in the holiday year that she left should be paid.

she has never had any of this you see

If she has never been given written particulars, then

holiday entitlement would be statutory minimum (at the rate of 5.6 weeks from 1 April 09 and 4.8 weeks prior to that)

holiday year would run from the time she joined the company

What date did she begin work with the organisation?

How were the 16-hours a week distributed over the week?
