Rolling Holiday Pay

[Catherine Sayer]

Following on from my previous threads!

I will be paying someone part time and also need to pay them 4 weeks pro rata holiday pay. (they will be working with me during the school term and won't be allowed to take time of during this period - so I will owe them holiday pay).

Ideally I would like to add their holiday pay onto their normal hourly rate but is this considered to be 'rolling pay' and is this now being made illegal? If I itemised the holiday pay separately at the end of each months pay packet, would this be acceptable?

many thanks

 

Either itemise separately at the end of each month or pay in blocks throughout the year. I'm sure that teachers working for the local authority still have their AL pay calculated on a rolling basis. I don't think it has been made illegal just yet. Have you contacted ACAS?

I believe the bit thats been made illegal in respect of paying holiday pay instead of taking holiday is to do with working too many hours/days a year.

Everyone is supposed to need a certain amount of time off (to sleep & relax ) - and being forced to work long hours for days on end, with little or no time off "continuously" is what has been made illegal.... The good news its to do with the amount of time worked over a 12 month period - averaging out.... So this is unlikely to effect a part-time worker - someone who occasionally works 7 days a week, for 18 hours a day, in theory is not breaking the law, as long as over a 12 month period, they are only working 48 |) hours a week, and making sure they are taking the minimum statutory holidays they are entitled to etc.etc.........
