Holiday pay or entitlement

[lulu_bucket]

I work 24 hours a week over 4 days (6 a day). I get 16 days holiday a year. Company holidays have to be taken 1/1/07 - 31/12/07. I have just handed in my notice finishing on Fri 19th Jan. Am I entitled to any holiday pay ? Someone has mentioned 1.66 days - 10 and a half hours is this right?

16 days holiday per year is the correct statutory minimum. (i.e. 4 x no. of days worked each week).

So to work out your holiday entitlement for 3 weeks, instead of 52, you need to multiply 16 by 3 and divide by 52. This means that you're entitled to receive 0.923 of a day's holiday (or equivalent pay). If you've not already had any holiday, you'll be entitled to receive holiday pay for 5.54 hours.

However, if you've already had a day's holiday (e.g. if you normally work on a Monday and the firm was closed on 1st January), you'll have had slightly more time off than you're entitled to and the company would have the right to deduct 0.077 of a day's pay (equivalent to 0.46 of an hour) from your final week's pay.

But 1st Jan was a bank holiday, so depending on where you work, it probably won't count as part of your annual holiday allowance.
