Not paid holiday pay!

Plantlady

Hi there,

I left my job four weeks ago and worked the notice my boss asked me to when I told her I wanted to leave.

Up until then I was paid every four weeks and we just got paid commission on our takings (hairdressing) then our holiday pay was worked out by taking a daily average from the previous four week period and we were paid that as a day rate times by the amount of holiday days taken.

I returned from my holiday, worked a week then worked the final week notice that was asked of me.

Four weeks on and I got paid for that four week period (as it’s paid four weeks later) and I have not been paid the holiday pay, just the commission for the 2 weeks I was there before and after my holiday.

My old boss is not a very approachable person so I wanted to get a second opinion on if this is right or if I am entitled to that holiday pay, before I query it with her.

Thank you in advance. X

It depends on the following:

On which date does your holiday year start?
How many holiday days have you taken this holiday year?

Maybe your week took you "one week over" so you'd not earnt that holiday pay yet.
