Holiday Pay

[Epiphany74]

I have an employee who thinks I am paying her holidays incorrectly. Can anyone help?

She does a 16 hr week at �5.05 per hour. Our holiday entitlement is 18 paid days holidays per year plus 6 stat days and everyone does a 5 day week.

What should I pay her per days holiday?

If she works part-time then her holiday allowance should be in hours not days.
You need to take the number of hours a day full-timers work (i.e. weekly hours � 5) and multiply by 18 to get the number of hours leave a full-timer gets per year. Your part-timer should get the pro-rated amount depending on the proportion of a full-time week she works.
So if a full-time week is 36 hours that makes 7.2 hours a day for a FT x 18 = 129.6 hours. PT does 18�36 = 0.5 of a FT week so gets 129.6 x 0.5 = 64.8 hours leave per year.
Of course, if she works the same hours each day, it's much simpler - just multiply the daily hours by 18 to get the total.

If everyone does a five-day week does that include the person in question? If so, although the entitlement should be in hours, in effect it will still work out to be the same in days as her P/T day will be in proportion to a F/T day.

That's right if they do the same number of hours each day.
