The 52 Week Holiday Calculation is a method for calculating holiday pay that was implemented in April 2020 following a government change. Previously, holiday pay was calculated based on a 12-week average, but this was increased to 52 weeks to ensure employees in various roles are treated equally and fairly.
How it works
Here's how it works:
The system looks back at the previous 52 weeks of an employee's work history to calculate their average hours for holiday pay purposes.
If at least 1 week's average hours are found, the system will use these values for calculations.
If no hours are found in the 52-week period, the system will revert to the employee's default value.
