ACC compensation payments, however, are not earnings, so are not included.</p> <p>Since annual holidays are calculated at the higher rate of an employee’s average weekly earnings for the 12 months before termination, and their ordinary weekly pay, if the employee has been unpaid for over a year, the average weekly pay will equal zero. You must therefore use the ordinary weekly pay, which is the amount the employee would receive for an ordinary working week.</p> <p>Many employees will still have an ordinary weekly pay – normally specified in the employment agreement – even after being off work on ACC for a lengthy period. If not, the pattern of work and payment from when the employee was last working will determine what an ordinary weekly pay should be for them. For example, an employee who worked 40 hours a week at an hourly rate of $30 per hour would have an ordinary weekly pay of $1200, despite being off work on ACC for over a year.</p> <p>If it is genuinely not possible to determine an employee’s ordinary weekly pay (for example, due to variable and unpredictable hours of work), the 4-week average formula should be applied to calculate their ordinary weekly pay. Because this formula involves an average of the earnings in the four weeks before termination, for an employee who is off work for more than 4 weeks, this would equal zero. For these employees, although they will have an entitlement to their unused annual holidays, it will have no monetary value.</p> <p><a
