    Do you agree with your payroll dept? If it helps, tot up all the days you have worked and multiply it by 12.05%. (You say it was always a 12 hour shift).

    Then deduct any days for which you have been paid holiday pay.

    Is the answer five days?

    I know that there are other ways of calculating holiday pay if you don't work regular hours, but that's the minimum. If you can't work back over 12 weeks then it's a reasonable method.

    It should be 12.07% to 2 decimal places, 12.069% to 3.

    Well, actually if they have agreed it's 5 days (they are allowed to round up but not down, so don't worry if your figures are slightly below), that should be a week's pay.
    Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).

    So you had various hourly rates?

    If you didn't work for them for 17 weeks then just take whatever weeks you did work and work out average hourly pay by adding all hours and all pay and dividing one by the other (not by adding just the hourly rates and finding the average of those).

    Then multiply that hourly rate by 60 (5 days by 12 hours).
