The Working Time Directive states that every employee is entitled to receive 5.6 weeks' paid leave every year. Importantly, this holiday pay should include all regular overtime, commission and bonuses that any worker would normally receive when they aren't on holiday. We explain how that works in our guide to holiday pay. It's also important to know that you're entitled to receive paid holidays even if you're on a zero Hours contract. The calculation is that you accrue 12.05% of holiday accrual for every hour you work under your Zero Hours contract. How much you receive when you've accrued a week's holiday will then be based on an average of your weekly earnings over the last 12 weeks in which you were paid. You can find more details about how holiday pay is calculated on the government's website; and if you believe that your rights to holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations are not being met by your employer, speak to one of our experienced employment solicitors today.
