For those of you that employ how do you calculate holiday pay accrued to your employees.  My employee wants to take time off at christmas and wants to know exactly how much time off he is due based on the amount of days he has done for me so far.  I have all the data written down but haven't been tracking it, so that's what i am currently doing this evening.

Do you calculate holiday pay accrued based on how many days they have worked for you per week/month or do you base it on hours?  Have got some good advice from my accountant, but just wondered what you guys on here do.

Cheers

A full time employee is I believe entitled to 28 days minimum if working 5 days a week. This includes bank holidays. This works out as 8 bank holidays and 20 days holibobs.

When Dan the Man worked for me he had a contract for 4 days per week and I paid him for 16 days plus all bank holidays that fell during his working week (Mon-Thurs) so usually Xmas and/or Boxing day but not Good Friday.

I also "closed down" for the week containing Xmas and so he had to take a weeks hols (4 days) that week.

I base mine on hours but you can do it either way....

My problem is that early on in the year my employee was having some 3 day weeks, some 4 days weeks, but lately its been more 4/5 days weeks and the odd 6 day week.  So its not as straight forward to calculate which is why i was wondering on whether to do calculate it based on hours worked.

So for me a working day is 8 hours max for an employee.  So if they did 40 hours even if its split over 6 days, technically its only 5 actual days of work.  Or lets say they did 32 hours work  but in only 3 days one a given week.  The hours add up to 4 days worth of work.  Does that make sense?

Trying to figure it out without making it too complicated.  My employee wasn't doing full time hours for parts of the year, but now he is, so i am trying to work it all out.

It goes on his contracted hours

has his contracted hours changed since he started ?

You should have contracted hours 30 hrs per week that’s what you base holiday day on any extra hours is overtime

The exception is zero hours then holiday is based on (something like) the average hours worked for the previous 6 weeks

I need to double check his contract, but basically it's setup as a 0 hours contract.  didn't specifically state any set hours contracted.

Use the gov website

If you have his hours noted down every month, then work his holidays out for each month and then add the total up.

If he’s working full time for you now, then work out your end of year (we use the financial year) and then tell him that he’ll need to take all accrued hols up to said end of year date.
After that date he has the normal holidays an employee can take in a year (28, bank hols inclusive)
