Holiday entitilement

pineapple123

Hi hope Ive posted on the correct board, just after some help from you guys on here.

DD has a job that was initally 4 days per month when she was in FT education (however she has always worked 8 days per month since starting) gradually last summer she increased the number of days she was working and finally started working 20-22 days per month from last sept which she has cont to do so, my query is that she has had no paid holiday this year yet and the few days she has had off have been unpaid, when asked, her manager said she was only entitiled to 4 days paid holiday per year. Can this be right, I fear its based on her original contract of 48 days employment per year. When asked for a new contract when working FT her manager said they where not employing anyone so could not have a new contract.
My DD has been promoted x2 since being there.
Back in June DD decided to return to FT education so in a few weeks she will be reducing her hours again.

Just need some advice is she
.Entitiled to anymore paid holiday
.What if anything she can do about it
.Is it worth trying to do anything about it.

She does really like her job but feels put upon esp since shes on min wage but has quite an extended role and alot of responsibility. Just to add the company has a small chain of businesses.
Any advice from anyone would be great.

Even with her 48 days a year contract, she was entitled to more than 4 days.

Yes she is entitled to more holiday pay UNLESS those extra days are classed as overtime.
She needs to find out if those extra days were classed as overtime or not.
If they aren't then she is entitled to the holiday pay and may need to take them to tribunal to get it.
Whether or not its worth it is dependent on her but its roughly 28 days pay she's owed which is half a years wage when she was on the original hours.

Hi thanks for replying so quickly - no she works weekends and B/H for no extra money also sometimes 6 days a week 8.5- 9 hr day exc Sun, and has never recieved O/T pay just min pay + 60p per hr extra for her promotion to superviser.
Is it worth contacting the main office that deals with her wages as her 2 manangers are hopeless and what should she say.
As I said she likes her job and needs this income but I feel she has been treated unfairly.

When I worked and had a 4h contract, when I took a week off it was a week, but I'd only get 4 hours holiday pay. It will depend on her weekly contract, how much she will be paid for a weeks holiday.

Overtime and overtime enhanced pay are not the same thing - you do not have to be paid more to owrk overtime.
