Yes, you should first check and get approval from the company you’re currently working at. Once your holiday has been agreed with them, let your consultant know and then complete the holiday form. The completed form should be emailed to: [email protected]
If you work full-time for a full year, you are entitled to 28 days of holiday, including bank holidays. If you work part-time or for less than a full year, your entitlement will be calculated on a pro-rata basis based on the hours you have worked.
The holiday year runs from 1st of October to the 30th September each year, which means you must make sure that all holiday accrued is used before the end of September. Add a reminder to your calendar for September to ensure all holiday is taken before October 1st.
To check how much holiday you have currently accrued please email holiday@ prime-appointments.co.uk and we’ll confirm your current holiday balance within 3 working days.
Holiday pay is built up as you work. For every hour worked, you accrue 12.07% in holiday time (roughly 7 minutes per hour).
Holiday pay is calculated using an average of your hours worked and pay rate over the last 52 weeks (or however many weeks you have worked if less than 52). Example: • If you work 40 hours per week consistently, your holiday pay would be based on an 8-hour day. • If your hours vary (e.g., 30 hours one week, 40 the next, 16 the next), your holiday pay would be calculated based on your average weekly hours. In this scenario the average would be 5.7 hours holiday pay per day to be paid.
