    I fail to see your point? I pay no tax anyway.
    If you don't pay any tax then obviously it is irrelevant If you had 44 hours at £8 an hour then after tax on that assuming normal PAYE like I pay the actual take home works out at just over 36 hours.

    That link tells you for irregular hours

    Prove by showing the link https://www.gov.uk/calculate-your-holiday-entitlement to them and ask them to work it out via this link as this is a GOV website!!

    I've used that link a few times myself - it doesn't really get any more accurate.

    Naf, go through the process on that link (it takes all of 5 seconds) and then do a screen print of the result. Wave that in his face :D

    Yep, exactly what I've already done; the ignorant #@*% refuses to budge. I'm half of the mind that he does know that he's wrong, but also knows that his position is very hard to absolutely disprove.

    I've just emailed him detailing the actual wording from the Working Time Regs and then explaining it, info from an ACAS leaflet about it, as well as reiterating the gov.uk calculator figure. I'll give him a couple of days then follow up, and if I get no/poor response I'll just open a small claims case. Or should I go through my union first?

    Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.

    Something in my e-mail rattled him I guess. Just got an email that its been sorted & a new payslip arrived shortly after.
