The reference period will increase from
12 weeks to 52 weeks which will function in the same way as before.
- The Employer will have to count back 52 weeks that the employee has worked and also been paid
- Where an employee has not been paid will not be included in the 52 weeks average
- If an employee has not worked 52 weeks you must include as many full weeks as possible to calculate the holiday pay due
- Overtime worked during this period must be used when calculating the average pay
The Government will publicise more information on this closer to the time of implementation
