Holiday pay

[dirrty]

yeah i had to request my holiday pay (but i got mine on a monthly basis).

[Alkaz]

I'm not on a contract either but I am in full time work and every quarter I receive 36 hours extra pay regardless of if I request it or not as it is the holiday pay I am entitled to.

If you're working for an agency they'll obviously have different laws, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're not entitled to it. Also if you're not on a contract then, you really have no leg to stand on Richie

12% of what I earn each shift goes into a Holiday Pay fund and I can claim that whenever I want. It doesn't even expire at the turn of the year. Last year I claimed around £800 and used it purely for December (buying christmas presents, going out, taking fam out etc).

If I don't take my holiday pay then I lose out. They work it out from the last 5 weeks and take the average from that I think.

At Morrisons.. Holidays renew every April, if you don't put in for your holidays (5 weeks at morrisons, 25 days I believe at college) then you lose them and you've subsequently worked over your holiday, when you could have been at home.. getting paid for doing nothing

I am however under contract.. although we do have a lot more freelancers at Morrisons (They get calls to come in, like you) and they're still entitled to the same amount of holiday.. it still resets and they still have the option of whether or not to use it up or not.

Edit: As regards to pay, they pay me what I would earn if I was there.

i get 8 percent paid out yearly.

Where I work, we're entitled to 160 or 190 hours of 'Annual Leave' which is essentially holiday pay. We must take this, as Zak said or you will have to work through it where you could be getting paid for doing nothing, or actually on holiday.

Our annual leave is paid as a normal salary at the end of each month. Just over £1000 free Gotta adore it.
Eitherway ask your manager(s) if there would be any chance of backdating some or all of your missed holiday pay. But where you are not under contract this could be difficult (they can do what they like when they like, sack you, not pay, etc..) Good luck!
