are employers obliged to pay pension contributions and holiday pay for employees in UK?

Answer 1

no not for pensions, you are entitled to 15 days (minimum) paid holiday a year.

Answer 2

No UK employer is required to pay a pension contribution to your pension fund. Most employers are how ever required to have some form of pension fund which you may pay into if you wish.This requirement for a fund is dependent on the size of the company. In respect of holidays all full time employees are entitled to 20 days Holiday per year if of course they have worked a full year. If you are par time and have not worked a full year you are entitled to part of the twenty days . An employer can and many do include bank holidays in the 20 days which can reduce your entitlement. Hope this helps. You may find that your contract of employment give you an entitlement to receive a pension payment and more holidays so check this.

Answer 3

from http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/n6w/index/life/employment/holidays_and_holiday_pay.htm#who_has_the_right_to_paid_holidays

"Most workers have the right to four weeks' paid holiday. If you are a part-time worker, a fixed term worker or a worker in your first year of employment, you are entitled to paid holiday in the same way as full-time workers. There is also no maximum age limit for qualifying for paid holidays. There are some groups of workers who are not entitled to paid holidays.

If your contract of employment gives you less paid holiday than the law says you should have, you still have the right to amount of paid holiday the law gives you. So even if your employment contract says you are only entitled to two weeks' paid holiday a year, this does not take away your right to four weeks' paid holiday. You may be entitled to more than four weeks' paid holiday if your contract says so."

I don't think they are legally obliged to pay pension contribution unless that forms part of your normal pay i.e. if your payslip normally shows employer contributions. They do have to pay National Insurance contributions

Answer 4

there is no obligation to pay contributions. However the European Working Time Directive states that anyone who is an employee is entitled to a minimum of 4 weeks paid time off, pro rata, in a year - however you have to have worked a minimum of 13 weeks before that entitlement kicks in. So even if you only work 1 hour per week, after 13 weeks you are pro rata'd paid time off.

Hope that helps.
