Have you been given the right amount of holiday pay?

Our advice can help you understand if you’ve been given the right amount of holiday pay

How much you’ll get depends on whether you work fixed hours and get the same amount of pay each week.

The paid holiday the law says you’re entitled to is called ‘statutory paid holiday’. For each week of statutory paid holiday you take, you’re entitled to a week’s pay.

How much you’ll be paid when you’re on holiday depends on whether you:

  • work fixed hours
  • get the same amount of pay every week

‘Fixed hours’ means the set number of hours you’ve agreed you’ll work – for example, 8 hours a week, 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday, or a shift pattern with a set number of hours.
