Every 12 months, on their anniversary for annual holidays entitlement, they can take 4 of their working weeks as paid annual holidays.</p> <p>For example, if an employee works 3 days each week, they can take 12 days of annual holidays. (3 days x 4 weeks = 12 days.) If they work 5 days each week, they can take 20 days of annual holidays.</p> <p>Some employees have a consistent pattern of work, but it's not the same every week. In this case, you can agree with your employee to work out their annual holiday entitlement in either days or hours. For example, if:</p> <ul> <li>they work the same total number of hours or days each week, but the number of hours each day or the days worked each week changes – you could agree to work out the annual holiday entitlement in either days or hours</li> <li>the total number of days they work each week is the same but the total number of hours changes – you might agree to work out their annual holiday entitlement in days</li> <li>the total number of hours they work each week is the same but the total number of days they work changes – you might agree to work out their annual holiday entitlement in hours</li> <li>they have a work pattern that is consistent but not based on a 7-day cycle, for example, they work 4 days on and 4 days off – you might agree to define the week by using the longest week in the pattern, or by using an average week based on the pattern or by just referring to the week at the time the annual holiday is taken.</li> </ul> <p>You should discuss the options and their consequences with your employees, in <v-tooltip id="glossary-2-3" title="Good faith " aria-label="Show good faith definition"> <template v-slot:content="">good faith</template> <template v-slot:tooltip=""> <p>Good faith means dealing with each other honestly, openly, and without misleading each other.

The option agreed should be used consistently for that employee unless their situation changes.</p> <p>If the employee’s work pattern does change, their situation must be reviewed, and their annual holiday entitlement recalculated based on the new work pattern.</p> <p>Our Holidays Act 2003 guides provide information about leave and holidays entitlements and pay.</p> <p>Our shorter guide is for employees and employers to help them understand minimum employment entitlements:<br><a href="/assets/uploads/documents/leave-and-holidays/Leave-and-holidays-guide.pdf">Leave and holidays: A guide to employees’ legal entitlements<span class="fileExt"> [PDF, 2.1 MB]</span></a></p> <p>Our longer guide gives detailed, practical guidance for payroll providers and professionals:<br><a href="/assets/uploads/documents/leave-and-holidays/holidays-act-2003-guidance.pdf">Holidays Act 2003 guidance<span class="fileExt"> [PDF, 1.8 MB]</span></a></p> <h4>Employees with an unpredictable work pattern</h4> <p>For some employees, it may not be possible to define what a ‘working week’ looks like in advance – for example, if they have no guaranteed hours, or work to a roster that changes unpredictably each week. If this is the case, you should try to identify with them whether there is a pattern of work that could be used to work out a working week for their annual holiday entitlement. This could be based on:</p> <ul> <li>the agreed hours in their employment agreement if these are a fair and reasonable reflection of their working week, or</li> <li>the days and hours they have actually been working in the weeks leading up to the leave.</li> </ul> <p>Assessing whether your payroll system can comply with the Holidays Act 2003 will help you check that you are in line with legislation and providing employees with at least the minimum leave and holiday pay and entitlements.</p> <p><a href="/assets/uploads/documents/leave-and-holidays/assessing-your-payroll-system.pdf">Assessing whether your payroll system can comply with the Holidays Act 2003 <span class="fileExt"> [PDF, 409 KB]</span></a></p> <p><a href="/assets/uploads/documents/leave-and-holidays/Holiday-and-Leave-decision-points.pdf">Holidays and leave decision points<span class="fileExt"> [PDF, 226 KB]</span></a></p> <p><a href="/assets/uploads/documents/leave-and-holidays/Ways-you-can-improve-your-compliance-with-the-Holidays-Act-2003.pdf">Ways that employers can improve compliance with the Holidays Act 2003<span class="fileExt"> [PDF, 293 KB]</span></a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="element enz__elements__elementcontent" id="e1530"> <div class="max-w-content"> <div class="typography md:typography-md xl:typography-xl"> <h2 class="h3">When employment ends</h2> <p>When an employee leaves, you must pay them for any unused annual holidays that they are entitled to.
