What are the rules regarding holiday pay?Do I need to sign a contract,I've been at my job for 9months?

Answer 1

UK ?

20 days minimium paid holiday per year.

NB. Your Employer is (currently) allowed to include Bank Holidays as part of the 20 days (in other words, it's 12 days plus 8 Bank Holidays).

Some Companies only allow you to take holidays (during your first year) after you have 'earned' them by working for the appropraite period of time.

For example, say your Company gives 24 days per year.

You would 'earn' at 2 days per month = so after 1 month you can take the first 2 days - and so on.


In your case you have done 9 months = 3/4 of a year. So you should have 'earned' 3/4 of your annual allowance ..

It’s demanding without understanding each and every little ingredient, yet more often than not once the employ is signed and the puppy is everyday that’s it, both part are in hassle-free words obligated to the words and project contained in the employ i.e. the 4 corners, the owner ought to might want to attend till the employ words expires to regulate or regulate the puppy settlement or as printed above refused to renewal the employ even with the truth that study the employ the owner ought to have a leg to face on if the puppy isn't up accordingly far on the pictures, as in the direction of the inhumane request to declaw the cat, even if it became in the employ, i ought to distinctly doubt any decide ought to evict someone who refused to declaw a cat, many vets refuse even to finish this operation,

It really all depends on how you are paid, if you are paid hourly, $X an hour, its up to the employeer if you get holiday pay, if you are paid yearly, $X a year, it doesn't matter, your paid a fixed amount no matter. I can tell you though if a person is not working on a 52 week full time contract they're probably not getting holiday pay.

Answer 4

I can only talk about the UK.
You are indeed entitled to a minimum of 20 days paid leave per year.
You do not necessarily need to sign a contract as such, but your employer is required by law to issue you with a 'Statement of Particulars' within 8 weeks of you starting work. This document should state your leave entitlement.

Answer 5

It all depends what industry you work in. People who work in restaurants and tourist attractions have separate rules to the general population.

But generally if you work the day before the holiday, and the day following the holiday, the employer has to pay you straight pay for that holiday day. (rate of X 1)

If your employer requests that you work ON a holiday, you must work out with them the type of reimbursement expected IN ADVANCE AND IN WRITING. That means if you expect to be paid money for working the holiday, you have to sign an agreement stating that you will receive double or triple pay for having worked that day, depending on the total hours in your pay period. (rate X 2 or rate X 3)

Generally, it is best to approach your company's payroll department, and get them to tell you your company's policy on this. Most will only give you time off in lieu of working on a holiday.

Now, if you are speaking of paid holidays, that is holidays you take in the year, for which you are paid...it all depends on the employer and their rules. Most employers will only give an employee of less than one year, one week off paid at sometime in that first fiscal year. Afterwards, it is a minimum of two weeks paid holiday a year. If a company is unionized, this rises to four weeks after the first year.

But again..it is best that you speak with the payroll or human resources department of your company, and find out company policy.

But legally, they have to either give you the time off, or pay you a percentage of your yearly wages in holiday pay (something like 1.6%).

Answer 6

It all depends on what the agreements were when you accepted the employment offer. They would have told you how long you have to wait until you get your holiday pays and all of the other benefits. every employer is a little different, so it's hard to say what rules is the right one.

Answer 7

most employees are entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday, pro rata if part time. All employees must have and signed a contract of employment within 13 weeks.

Answer 8

Check not only your company`s contract but any small print you may have overlooked that & contact the Job centre they can tell you what is legal & what is not these days.

Answer 9

check your company policy on holidays and/or holiday pay.
