Temp Work - Can someone understand this?

hellokitty08

anyone know what this means in English?


The Premium Rate (pre-deductions) applicable to thisAssignment is 10.5000 Per Hour. This rate includes 28 days paid holiday inclusive of your pro-rata28 days statutory leave entitlement per annum and any such additional assignmentleave (if any) will be paid on a ‘rolled up’ basis during the Assignment. Thestatutory leave entitlement will be deducted through payroll and shall be paidin accordance with clause 7 of the Terms of Assignment of Temporary Workers.

By they way I cant find the Term of Assignment of Temporary workers either.

Does this mean I should be getting the £10.50 an hour and not this with deductions?

I think it means that your holiday pay is included in your hourly rate. So any holidays would go unpaid....

But you'd still expect tax and NI to be taken

well that is how I read it, still they have taken out the holiday pay. I will have to bite the bullett and phone them to try and get it sorted.

Its ones of those things, that the more times you read it, the less it makes sence.

Thanks

I read it as meaning that £10.50 is the gross rate inclusive of statutory holiday entitlement.

So the statutory leave entitlement is deducted from the £10.50 at the time you are paid for your worked hours. You will be paid at the time you take your statutory leave.

If you would receive an enhanced holiday entitlement (eg if you worked more than 12 weeks for the same employer where the regular directly employed staff receive more holiday), the pay for that additional leave entitlement is rolled up into the hourly rate you receive when you are paid for the hours worked. This element of your supposed holiday entitlement is not paid when you take leave - your paid leave is only the statutory amount.

That explanation shows why the holiday pay has been deducted from your pay now.

Little voice, you have confused me a little more, but I think i have a plan.

Who?_me?

Your holiday pay is 12% of your hourly rate. This makes your hourly pay £9.24, your holiday pay £1.26 an hour. . What this could mean is that they take that 12% off and put it aside for you so you can access it during holidays.
However, once you have worked for the company for 12 weeks, you will then be entiltled to what ever holiday regular staff are entitiled to.
This could mean an increase in your hourly rate, though you will still have the 12% take off? Hmm, doesn't make sense to me know.
I know - ASK!

Sorry to hi-jack but I don't want to start another thread when I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to this;

I'm a temp worker (been here 25 weeks or so), in April each year the company do a cost of living wage rise across all employees, should I be entitled to this as I've been here >12 weeks? I'd imagine possibly not but I thought I'd ask the clever people on here!
