Payroll Question - holiday pay for leaver?

Question

When someone leaves and have not taken their holidays yet - are they entitled to holiday pay and how do i go about this on Sage ?

Answer 1

They are entitled to the proportion of their annual leave relative to how much of the year they have worked. For example, if someone gets 20 days holiday per calendar year, but leaves after 9 months, i.e. 3/4 of a year, then they would be entitled to 3/4 of their holidays i.e. 15 days. If they have already taken, say, 12 days leave so far this year, then you need to pay them for the remaining 3.

Answer 2

Dependant on when your Company's year for taking holidats commences as to what holiday entitlement you will be eligable for.
Take the start date of holiday if you are entitled to say 4weeks,for each month that you have worked from commencement date times by 1:6, 3months =3x1:6=4:8 days pay.

Answer 3

Depends on your contract and how long you have been with the company and circumstances for leaving.
As a genral rule of thumb, as long as you have not been sacked, passed your beginers time with the company you are entitled to roughly 2 days leave a month, dated from the start of the holiday year which again varies from firm to frim, after the first year is complete you are entitled to a full years entitlement normally.
Check your contract or ask your line manager for a copy, r talk to your payroll department, or your local Union rep if you have one, they normally have all the information to hand or know where to find out quickly.
Good Luck

Answer 5

Assuming you pay your staff by the hour,just add up the days owed, convert this to hours and add to your normal payroll run. This should work fine, but you might like to put a note in the final payslip that their final wages include ?? many hours untaken holiday pay.
Hope this helps

Answer 6

You listed your question under USA, but seem to have a number of responses from the UK, where laws are different. There isn't a law in the US that employers have to pay you for accrued leave time, but most will. Not sure what your "Sage" reference means.

Answer 7

yes your entitled to any holiday pay due it should be in your last wage packet. i left a job where they would not let me take my holiday as boss said he could not afford the pay... teehee i got 3 weeks hol py plus weeks wages when i left

Answer 8

depending on how long you have been with the company they should put your holiday pay in with your last pay if not you can ask for it i did and they wrote me a cheque out there and then .

Answer 9

(a) Yes.
(b) I have no idea.

Can you pay them for extra days for the holiday they haven't taken?

Additional: I see the "thumbs down" morons are out in force today.

Answer 10

You can insist they take their outstanding Holiday during their Notice Period (assuming their Notice period exceeds their outstanding holiday, of course :-) ).
