Holiday pay for zero hours contracts

Racheshire1 · 2020-03-05 15:02:30

Hi, my 17 yr old recently worked 101 hours over a 7 week period on a zero hours basis. I believe she has been underpaid for her holiday pay (they werent going to pay her anything until I chased it up). Can anyone confirm or advise how many hours she would be due based on the hours/weeks she worked? Thanks in advance

I think getmore4less meant the extra 20-30 mins they are working but not getting paid for could take the rate of pay under minimum wage.

Thanks. If they underpay on the holiday pay that will affect it too surely?

Maybe not. The entitlement is to paid leave but it could be said they were simply not paying for the leave. I'd be happy to be corrected.
