The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) has useful guidance for employers puzzling over staff holiday pay entitlements.
The guidance leaflet gives a summary of holiday entitlements, setting out:
- the right to annual leave;
- when a leave year starts;
- how and when workers can take leave; and
- how to calculate holiday pay.
There is also a Q & A section that covers issues such as:
- public holidays;
- part-time workers and holidays;
- leave years that start at different times; and
- accrual systems.
The guidance is available on the ACAS website.
