How much accrued holiday pay should I receive.

I have worked for 2.25 months in total.

The annual holiday entitlement at work was 20 days + 8 bank holidays, 28 days in total.

I did not take any holiday in this time, nor were there any bank holidays.

I did this calculation:

2.25 (months worked) divided 12 (months in year) x 100 = 18.75%

18.75% (percentage of year worked) x 28 (annual entitlement) divided by 100 = 5.25 (Days I am entitled to be paid for)

Is this correct?

    surely entitlement should be 20 as the extra 8 are bank holidays? 3.75 days?

    Have you asked the payroll office, they are the ones that can give you the correct breakdown (Do holidays start? Jan - Dec or April - April etc.)

    As someone else said best asking payroll but as an idea I am temping and my holiday reset at start of year and next week I'll have just over 5 days worth of holiday pay.
    So your calculations do sound correct.

    Once for advise, twice for double checking, three times for extra confirmation ;) (or they are hoping that the more they ask the more holidays they will get :D).
