Holidays for 0 hours contract

[Fernando de los Ríos]

I would like to know how many days holidays I have accrued from 1/ 4 to the 31/7. My company told me that I am entitled to 6 days. They have used this formula 5.6 *6 ( my holidays) /28 and this multiply by average earning.
According to my calculation using an example in gov uk I should have paid 150 pounds more.
I am in a 0 hours contract and sometimes I work 5 days 20 hours, sometimes 4 days 24 hours ( every week is different).

thank you for helping me

You may be entitled to 6 days AND £150 more. they are not the same thing.
Calculate your average earnings per week (ignoring any week in which you had zero earnings). Calculate your holiday entitlement by the number of days from 1/4 to 31/7 divided by 365. That is the percentage of the year worked. say 33%. Multiply 5.6 weeks by that figure (33% gives 1.848 weeks). Multiply the average weekly earnings by the number of weeks' holiday to get your holiday pay.

thank you very much, I did calculate my holidays the way you just explained me. ( about £360 more or less).
the company said that my holidays entitlement is only 6.1 days.
HR has used this formula 5.6*6.1=34.16 then they divided 34.16/28= 1.23 and they multiply this 1.23 by average earning that is equal to 220 pounds. ( more or less).

I don’t understand why they have used this formula or where in gov uk website can be found.

Then ask them to explain every figure they have used.

They said that I work in average 3 days a week, then I
am entitled to 6 days holidays from april to july.
Then they convert this 6 days holidays into weeks. and they multiply for my average earning of the last 52 weeks.

Ask them to explain each step of 5.6*6.1=34.16 then they divided 34.16/28= 1.23
Start with 5.6 is your annual leave entitlement, then explain each figure in that equation and why it is there.

 

[Fernando de los Ríos]

that is the explanation they gave me. you are working in average 3 days a week ( that is not truth my working days vary from week to week) then 5.6*3 = 16.8 days in a year. this 16.8 they round up to 17.
they divided this 17 between 13 ( we get 13 payment in the year).
17/13 = 1.29 ( number of days that i am entitled en each pay roll payment) .
then she told me according to my calculation you are entitled to 6.12 days.
then she is converting this 6.12 days into weeks with that formula.
then using that formula i will get £680 pounds for my holidays in a year.
my monthly average earning is 810.
they way they calculated my holidays can’t be right

Work out your average hours, not days, if your hours vary day to day so Week 1, worked 14 hours, week 2, 25 hours gives an average of 19.5 hours per week.

can you help me to calculate my holidays. my average earning is 207. my last day was 31/7. ( holidays start on 1/4 to 31/3) and I did not take any holidays. My contract is 0 hours.
when you tell me to calculate my average hours should be for the last 52 weeks or since 1/4/2021. many thanks.
do you think my company calculate my holidays correctly.

 

[Newchodge]

do you think my company calculate my holidays correctly.

I have not the faintest idea. Write down the number of hours you worked each day and each week. Ignore any weeks when you had zero hours. Add up the total number of hours and divide by the number of weeks included in the caluclation. Then ring ACAS
