The Employment Law & HR Podcast
Holiday Entitlement & Pay FAQ's Answered: Episode 48

Following a surprising question from an employee client I thought that it would be helpful to dedicate an episode to answering some of the frequently asked questions abut holiday.

In this episode I will cover:

  • The background to holiday entitlement and pay in the UK
  • The Working Time Regulations requirements
  • Notice periods for taking holiday
  • Who is entitled to take holiday
  • How to calculate holiday pay
  • When you can pay in lieu of holiday
  • When holiday can be carried forward to the next year
  • Rolled up holiday pay

 Action Points

Review your contracts and policies to see if you have holiday entitlement and pay covered. Check to ensure that your part-time staff are treated the same as full time staff with holiday, and review how much you are paying employees when they are on holiday.
