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
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.
