Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Please find all questions related to holiday pay below.

How is Holiday Pay Accrued?

Holiday pay is accrued as hours are worked. For each hour worked you will accrue 12.07% in holiday time (just over 7 minutes).

I work 8-hour days, why isn’t it 8 paid hours? (or however many hours)

The amount of holiday paid for when you take leave will be based on how many hours you have worked in the past 12 weeks. If you work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week for 52 weeks solid then you will use and be paid for 8 hours leave if you take a day off as holiday. If you work varied hours, ie 30 hours one week, 40 the next, 16 the next, it would average these to the average daily hours you actually worked and you would be paid for that many as 1 days leave, (5.7 hours in this example).
