Asda & Holidays

mountainofdebt

Can anyone who works for Asda tell me when the holiday year runs from and to.

I'm assuming that the holiday hours remaining on the payslip refer to the number of hours a person has left to take in the holiday year but what does the holiday hrs top up and stadard day hrs/min refer to please?

TIA

Hi,

The holiday year starts from the first Sunday in April each year.

Yes regarding remaining hours question. A "Standard Day" is the total number of hours you are contracted for divided by 5.

With the regards to Holiday Hours Top-Up, I still don't fully understand it! The Handbook states:

"To ensure that all Colleagues can take at least their statutory minimum entitlement to paid leave in any holiday year, at or around the beginning of each holiday year Asda (or it's payroll provider) will calculate the total number of potential additional hours paid holiday any affected colleagues would have a statutory entitlement to take if they had no paid time off during the holiday year in question on a Customary Holiday they are contracted to work but not required to work.

Any potential additional hours resulting from this calculation will be shown on the payslip as 'holiday top up hours' and will decrease during the holiday year if the colleague has any paid time off on a Customary Holiday that they are contracted to work but not required to work. Colleagues are not allowed to book or take any hours shown on their payslip as 'holiday hours top up' until after the second Sunday in January in any holiday year.

A Colleagues 'holiday top up hours' will also increase or decrease accordingly where their holiday entitlement changes due to any changes to their contracted hours during the holiday year.

Colleagues who are not potentially affected by the increases in statutory minimum holiday entitlements will not have 'holiday top up hours' line shown on their payslip.

Hope that helps!
