HOLIDAY PAY

STATEMENT TO TEMPORARY WORKERS OF JOHNSON UNDERWOOD LIMITED (“the Agency”)

Temporary workers, whether part time or full time, are entitled to four weeks annual leave.

Under the Working Time (amendment) Regulations 2001 which came into force 25 October 2001 the thirteen week qualifying conditions for paid annual leave has been abolished. Instead, a temporary worker is entitled to holiday pay from the first day of employment.

To competently administer this, Johnson Underwood will show the holiday pay, paid to you, the temporary worker as a separate calculation on your payslip, along with the normal hours paid at the set rate agreed.

The holiday pay will be held back for you until you take a holiday or finish the assignment, it will then be paid over to you.

Temporary workers must give the client (companies where temporary workers are working) and the Agency notice that they want to take leave. In the absence of any agreement, the notice period that a temporary worker must give should be at least twice the period of the leave to be taken.

It is open to clients to set the times that temporary workers may take their leave, for example, a Christmas shut down.

A week's leave should allow the temporary worker to be away from work for one week,
i.e., it is the same as the length of time the temporary worker works in a normal week.
