How to calculate holiday pay?

Hi 
my husband gets paid weekly.  Basic hours are 39 hours but work overtime every day ( work for a farm)
I’ve looked on cab and it says the following but wage slips do not show total hours worked going forward only for the 1 week.  

When did the following ruling of holiday pay come into effect please as only just found out about this and husband has only been paid basic hours.

Your holiday pay should be the same as what you normally earn including any regular overtime, commission or bonus. 

Overtime that you’ve only done twice in 6 months probably isn’t regular enough. But if you’ve worked overtime in 5 of the last 8 weeks, it might. 

There’s no set way of working out how much to include if your overtime, commission or bonus is different every week. 

Start by working out how much your average weekly pay was over the past 52 weeks. Add together your pay for the previous 52 weeks - including any overtime, commission or bonuses you got during that time. Then divide that by 52 to get your weekly average pay. 

If you think the amount isn’t about the same as what you would have earnt if you weren’t on holiday, ask your employer to use the average for a different period. The furthest back you can go to find a different period is 104 weeks.

Your employer must include overtime, commission or bonuses for the first 4 weeks of your holiday pay. Your remaining 8 days’ holiday pay will be paid at your basic rate.

Can we ask the employer to back date this to when this was started?

Ask the employer to explain how they calculate HP, and have a look at the contract of employment.
