Get expert guidance on holiday pay

All workers are entitled to take time off work, and they must be paid the correct amount of holiday pay. As an employer, you have a legal requirement to ensure you pay the correct amount of money.

Failure to do so is against employment law and can lead to a breach of contract or an employment tribunal.

Peninsula offers expert guidance on holiday pay. Our team offers unlimited 24/7 HR advice which is available 365 days a year.

What happens if you don't pay your workers the right amount of holiday pay?

Not paying holiday pay correctly is against employment law and should be avoided at all times.

For example, if holiday pay hasn't included overtime, the worker may look to claim this money back. If the issue isn't resolved, they may look to escalate the issue further to an employment tribunal.

Do you have to pay holiday pay?

Holiday pay is a legal employment right for workers to take time off from their job. This time is used to take a holiday, see family, or simply have a break from work.

As an employer, you must understand your workers' right to paid holiday. As well as the amount of pay they'll receive whilst away from work.

You may be wondering how long an employee can take for holiday leave, whether it should be paid the same as normal pay, or if holiday pay should be paid when a worker is sick. That's where our HR experts come in, to help you understand your rights and responsibilities as an employer when it comes to holiday pay.
