'Attendance Pay' and holiday pay

[NewlandArcher]

Hi there, this is my first post and would be grateful for any help you can offer.

I am employed full time as an HGV driver. My weekly wage slip includes entries for 'Basic Pay' and 'Attendance Pay'. Total wage is split equally between the two, and I receive the same every week.

However when I take holidays, I am only paid my 'Basic Pay' because I am not in attendance - so while on holiday leave I only receive half pay effectively. Looking at gov.uk guidance, this does not seem right. I should be paid what I am paid each week in normal employment according to that.

Does anybody have any advice as to what the situation is with this please? Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

Re: 'Attendance Pay' and holiday pay

It certainly sounds like they're pulling a fast one.

Do you have a written contract or any other documents about the terms and conditions of this employment?
If so, can you quote exactly what it says about 'Attendance pay'.
