    I don't know of any NHS bodies that don't apply this (but I don't know then all!). But there needs to be a comparator to argue it. Which shouldn't be hard.

    NHSP probably the largest supplier of variable hour staff only give 28days.

    Yes - but NHSP are an agency in law and the employment relationship isn't direct with the Trust. I understood that you were talking about non-agency staff? But obviously that situation with agencies is about to change - although I striongly suspect that it will not be as clear cut and starigh forward as everyone thinks it will be. Employers and agencies seem to find a way around the rules whenever they change, and I expect that there will need to be a body of case law before clarity emerges.

    Don't you just get paid holidays why would you get rolled up holidays doing full time..

    Maybe this wtd is not what I think it is.

    In fact, why would you get rolled up holidays at all since they are unlawful in 98% of circumstances??? But it would help if you could start a new thread with the answers and the problem - it confuses this thread to have two entirely different topics being discussed.

    I am now suspecting what I think is holiday pay "the wtd entry" which happens to be around 12.07% is not holiday pay and something else.

    Needs clarifying with HR/payroll, how are holidays calculated and paid.

    That need the OH to chase up which will take time.

    Just a wild guess, but the NHS was badly scorched by some judgements on the working time directive and payment for time spent on site but not working - on-call, sleep-ins etc. Could this be payments associated with the application of the Directive in relation to these?
