For many years, we have used the 12.07% calculation when working out holidays for casual workers. The Tribunal have recently decided that this is no longer a reliable method.
Workers who are in employment for a full leave year are entitled to 5.6 weeks’ annual leave. The Working Time Regulations do not set out how to convert this into entitlement in days or hours for workers with irregular hours. In practice, if needed, employers may wish to calculate average days or hours worked each week based on a representative reference period, although the Regulations do not expressly provide for this. In all cases, employers must ensure that each worker receives at least 5.6 weeks’ annual leave per year.
