Questions
Where does 12.07% come from?
From 5.6 weeks of statutory holiday a year: 5.6 ÷ (52 − 5.6) = 12.07%. For every hour you work, you build up 0.1207 hours of holiday.
Who can be paid rolled-up holiday pay?
Irregular-hours and part-year workers, for leave years that started on or after 1 April 2024. Other workers get holiday pay when they take their holiday.
Is it on top of my hourly rate?
Yes. It’s paid in addition to your pay for the hours you worked, and it has to be shown as a separate item on your payslip. At £12.71 an hour, 30 hours pays £381.30 plus £46.02 of holiday pay.
Does PayJar add it for me?
Yes. Turn on holiday pay in Settings and PayJar adds 12.07% to each shift’s pay, premiums included, on its own line.
Check your basic rate too: UK minimum wage by age.
General information, not legal advice. Your contract, your payslip and GOV.UK have the final word.
