Getting holiday pay for a Christmas Temp job?

I started a Christmas temp job with Royal Mail at the beginning of November just for a little bit of extra money for Christmas.

I kept in touch with a few people from there also on the casual basis like myself, and one of them asked in a group chat yesterday when will we get holiday pay? I wasn't even expecting anything with it only being a temporary basis, and a Google Search proved me wrong so now it's making me wonder..

I started on November 7th and was due to finish on December 23rd although this got extended for two more weeks to January 6th. I've worked nine weeks without a single day off.

Does this entitle me to some kind of holiday pay?

    The simplest way to work it out is 12.07% of the hours worked.

    it can get a bit more complicated but that is a good stating point.

    if you are finished then it should come with the last pay but might be an extra one if there was some cutoff date that got missed.
