Holiday pay explained

Procedure for requesting holiday pay

Holiday is accrued at 12.07% of your basic hourly pay rate.

If you are going on annual leave or wish to apply for a bank holiday and want to request this as paid leave, you must complete the ‘temp workers request for paid leave’ form and send it over to us one week IN ADVANCE of taking leave.

A breakdown of your holiday entitlement will be shown on your payslip each week. Please contact the payroll department on 020 7198 6190 if you have any queries with this.

If at the time of asking you have not accrued enough holiday pay to cover the full period of your leave we will pay out everything that you have accrued so far.

Example:
“Say you earn £10 per hour, and you work 35 hours in a week, holiday accrued will be 12.07% of your gross pay for that week, in this case £350.00. Therefore in this example the holiday amount which will be accrued for you will be £42.25”

The holiday pay request form can be downloaded here TempPaidLeaveRequest.doc

Forms should be faxed to us on 020 7198 6100, please email or phone your consultant to confirm receipt.

Please note we will not be able to process holiday pay requested after your leave has been taken.

Holiday pay not used by the end of the holiday year (January to December) may not be carried over to the next year.
