Holiday Pay Process 2023/2024
We want to take this opportunity to remind our temporary workers of our ‘Holiday Pay Process’. This would have been discussed with you at the point of registration. It is also detailed on the application forms you signed at the outset.
If you wish to take annual leave you must request it, firstly with your line manager at your place of assignment. Once this has been agreed by them, please notify Simple Recruitment of the relevant dates. This is so we can ensure this gets paid to you (providing you have the time accrued). This NEEDS to be sent IN WRITING to holiday@simplerecruitmentltd.co.uk.
Your response will be answered by our payroll team at their earliest convenience.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Requests should be made with at least a week’s notice given.
- Holiday time must have been accrued.
- If you do not work some days and have not notified us or requested it as holiday, we WILL NOT automatically process it as holiday.
- Bank holidays should also be requested as being paid if required.
- Holidays cannot be taken when you have been out of work ill.
- You cannot be paid holiday but also work, it has to be actual time off. We cannot pay holiday in lieu. You should be paid for the time when annual leave is taken or at the end of the booking if your booking finished before the end of the leave year (April 6th to April 5th). This is a statutory requirement which aims to protect your rights and ensure you have the opportunity to take days off. An employer cannot include an amount for holiday pay in the hourly rate (known as ‘rolled-up holiday pay’).
- Annual leave cannot be carried over from one year to the next. You may need to make sure that you take your leave during the leave year (April 6th to April 5th).
We do not carry forward any unused holiday pay into the next leave year and any holiday funds not used will be lost.
We can advise you of the amount of time off you have accumulated. This is done upon your request to our offices via holiday@simplerecruitmentltd.co.uk.
It is your responsibility to utilise your accrued time throughout the year, we will regularly send reminders to you.
Please note this process is the current and up-to-date process that supersedes all others.
