Hi
My employer has implemented a new scheme whereby employees are not paid for holidays pay during the pay week/month of leave and instead they pay 14 days of holiday pay at the end of June and another 14 days at the end of December. Is this legal?
I'd really appreciate some input as I cannot find anything on the web about when holiday pay must be paid by.
The contract of employment reads.
Full time employees accrue holiday at the rate of 1.6 days per calendar month from their first day of employment with the Company. This applies to part time employees pro rata. (but it operates at 2.33 days per calendar month)
Employees with less than 12 months’ continuous service with the Company are not entitled to take annual holiday until it has accrued.
Employees will be paid at their basic rate of pay in respect of periods of annual holiday.
