Frequently Asked Questions
How much holiday pay am I entitled to in the UK?
5.6 weeks (28 days) for full-time workers. Part-time workers get the same proportion. For example, a worker doing 3 days a week is entitled to 3 × 5.6 = 16.8 days per year.
How is holiday pay calculated for zero-hours workers?
12.07% of pay earned, paid as you go or accrued. This percentage is derived from 5.6 weeks divided by the remaining 46.4 weeks in a year (5.6 ÷ 46.4 = 12.07%).
Can my employer include holiday pay in my hourly rate?
Only if your contract clearly states this (known as 'rolled-up holiday pay') and it is shown separately on your payslip. This practice is legal from 2024 for irregular-hours workers.
Do bank holidays count towards my holiday entitlement?
Only if your contract includes them. Your 5.6-week entitlement may or may not include bank holidays depending on your contract.
What if I am on sick leave during my holiday?
If you are too ill to take annual leave, you can reschedule it. You cannot be forced to take holiday while on sick leave.
