    Well then, just send him another text asking about your outstanding holiday pay.

    You asked how to work out your holiday pay. If you do not have normal contractual hours, you take the last 12 weeks worked, add up the hours and divide it by 12. That gives you your 'normal working week' for the purpose of calculating holiday pay. Full timers get 5.2 week's holidays during the company holiday year. So you need to know when the holiday year runs from and to. By doing the calculation above, you can work out how many hours constitute a #holiday week' for these purposes, and by using your normal hourly rate, you can work out how much you are owed after deducting any holiday already taken.

    Just a tip - if you end up making an ET claim, you should make a claim for unlawful deduction of wages and NOT breach of contract. Why? Because breach of contract is the only claim in tribunal which allows the employer to make a counter claim for any money that he claims you owe him. If you make an unlawful deduction from wages claim, he can't simply add his claim onto yours, but would have to make a separate claim in the county court if he wished to pursue this.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
