Holiday pay - bit of a con?

getmore4less

Many company policies might predate the WTD and other holiday related legislation.

WTD defines holiday and the payment

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1833/contents/made

16.—(1) A worker is entitled to be paid in respect of any period of annual leave to which he is entitled under regulation 13, at the rate of a week’s pay in respect of each week of leave.

(2) Sections 221 to 224 of the 1996 Act shall apply for the purpose of determining the amount of a week’s pay for the purposes of this regulation, subject to the modifications set out in paragraph (3).

employment act defines the weeks pay

Did you ever get an answer to this, as I have just been paid the same annual salary/365 for accrued holiday pay at time of leaving.

I applied for 10, and got 10. But they calculated the per day figure differently, meaning I lost out.



Yep exactly.

How can they calculate the figure to be less?

Ask them what your daily rate is?

Salary/260 = daily rate

My ex employers have taken my annual salary/365 as my rate for accrued holidays, despite taking my salary/260 as a daily rate for paying me a partial month when I went off on Maternity Leave.
