Temps & Contractors
Holiday Pay
STATEMENT TO TEMPORARY WORKERS OF JOHNSON UNDERWOOD LIMITED (“the Agency”)
Temporary workers, whether part time or full time, are entitled to 5.6 weeks (i.e. 28 days) effective 1st April 2009.
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.
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.
Q: Do I receive holiday pay?
A: Yes, see the notes with your contract and it shows on your wage slip every week. Please note: You must email Reception to confirm you want the holiday to be paid (the same goes for Bank Holidays).
Q: How is holiday pay calculated?
A:28 days pro rata each year = 12.7% of rate
Q: What happens to my accrued holiday pay should I leave?
A: This is paid in full to you.
