Holiday Pay

There are two types of Holiday Pay - Statutory Holiday Pay (provided for by the Working Time Regulations 1998) and Contractual Holiday Pay (provided for in each employee’s contract of employment). Each type of Holiday Pay offsets the other.

Further details about amounts of Holiday Pay can be found here.

Employees are not entitled to receive Holiday Pay if they are off sick for the whole of a holiday year (see Ainsworth v Commissioners for the Inland Revenue - a 2005 Court of Appeal case).
