Holiday pay for term-time only, part-time staff

[Guest]

Hi

I have trawled through but not found an answer that fits, so hoping someone can help!

We are a TTO Preschool open 4 mornings per week. I work all 4 mornings plus the other morning at playgroup, most other staff do 2 days each.

Apparently, they are paid their holiday pay in August - 20 days, pro-rated for part timers.

I'm not sure this is right, so do I work it out by working out the hours worked over the 39 weeks and put that into the government calculator?

Yes

For my staff - 15 hours per week for 38 weeks - it works out at 23 days each (a day being a three hour session) - hope that's right that's what I pay - my accountant agrees so hopefully all OK :1b

I am too tired to work out what it is telling me now, but THANK YOU! Just what I needed

I couldn't get my head round this when I was trying to calculate holiday - 5.6 weeks I thought it was. I the end I just decided on an inclusive figure per annum and divided it by 52 - I pay four weekly.

It's just another way of working out holiday pay for people Working term time only, you are being generous if paying 5.6wks to term time only employees

They are entitled to 5.6 weeks of whatever they work so if they work 15 hours a week then 15 x 5.6 is 84 hours holiday! If then they only work term time they are entirely to 38/52 of this so the 84 / 52 is 1.62 x the 38 weeks they work is 61.4 hours! I do hourly as we don't all work the same amount of hours each day so it just makes it fairer! Hope this helps x

Thank you all. It's tricky to get right, but I want to make sure they're getting what they should. We pay it as a lump sum in August so that there isn't a whole month with no pay, so I'll work it out based on the hours we've worked up till the end of term in July.
