Holiday pay for employees – do you know your legal obligations?

Paid annual leave is a legal right that an employer must provide. Holiday pay is worked out according to the kind of hours someone works and how they’re paid for the hours.

This includes:

  • full-time workers
  • part-time workers
  • agency workers
  • workers working irregular shifts
  • casual workers including zero-hours contracts

Workers are entitled to a week’s pay for each week of statutory leave that they take. 

You can use the holiday calculator to work out how much leave someone should get.

For further information please select the following link. Holiday entitlement: Holiday pay - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

You can also contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) with questions about general holiday pay issues.
