Calculating Holiday Pay For

[cassa333]

Someone who works term time only is very tricky. Or so I have been told.

Is there a 'simple' calculation that shows the holiday entitlement expressed ineer time or pay, for some one who works 38 wks a yr for a varying amount of time each week?

There is 'uplift' for those on a fixed hrs contract such as myself. I work for 5hrs 50 min per week term time only (38wks) and I get xx per hr with an uplift of yy to account for holiday pay making my take home pay zz. It also means I cannot take paid holiday in term time.

But can you do the same for someone who works a variety of hours each week term time only?.

Surely there must be a simpler way to calculate it based on actual hrs worked as opposed to yearly hrs stretched and compressed to express a figure over 52 wks???

In effect what I am asking is can it be calculated that if someone works 5 hrs they would have 'earnt' or accrued 10 minutes time or 50p in wages (as an example lol)

Method 1:
Start here:

Method 2 (which is how most employment agencies work):
Simply use a multiplier, calculated as follows:
Someone who works a regular 5 day week is theoretically available for work on 52 x 5 = 260 days per year. (A pedant might argue that the figure should be 261 days, because there are 52 weeks and 1 day in a year, but 260 is normally used for the calculation). If they're given the minimum statutory leave of 28 days, that means that they actually work 232 days 'on' and 28 'off'. [i]So each hour worked gains 28 ÷ 232 hours = 7.2414 minutes of holiday.[i]

It is really ticky fors to work out. Some work 5 x 4hrs for 38 weeks of the year but some others may work a differig amnt of shfts each week o 38 weeks a year.

Every time we work it out it comes out as something different.

Thank you Chris I shall have a look at the link later :)

Yup, that's exactly what you do for people who work shifts of different lengths - you calculate it in hours, not days.
