We get asked some questions on a regular basis here at HR4 Nurseries, so I thought it would be useful to share the questions and answers with you.
Are casual workers entitled to holidays?
Yes. If a member of staff works on a casual basis or very irregular hours, it is often easier to calculate holiday entitlement that accrues as hours are worked. The holiday entitlement of 5.6 weeks is equivalent to 12.07 per cent of hours worked over a year. The 12.07 per cent figure is 5.6 weeks’ holiday, divided by 46.4 weeks (being 52 weeks minus 5.6 weeks). The 5.6 weeks are excluded from the calculation as the employee would not be at work during those 5.6 weeks in order to accrue annual leave.
