All the LTB'S and latest discussion threads on getting extra holiday payments when going on holiday for those who work above their contracted hours.For part-timers 'and' full-timers.
As far as I understand it as long as you qualify by having 8hrs overtime in each accounting period then you will get paid your average hours of the last 12 weeks for each week that you are off up to 4 weeks. It doesn't matter how the hidays are spaced out.
They payments will all be paid on the friday in the week that you are on holiday which to me sort of feels like it's a payment in advance but that's how they do it
Hope this makes it clearer
Thankyou so I will get holiday pay in each week. Well I should do as I do every tues pm in callers . Still not too clear but clearer!!!
UPDATE
Didn't get paid average hol pay for both weeks, only first week? Kind of defeats object of average holiday pay. Now I'm thinking I will get a basic pay when I'm off again in 2 weeks time. Why can't someone just answer this from hr??
But are these holiday weeks you are taking mean you don't work 8hrs OT in the 4/5 week qualifying periods 30 May - 26 June and/or
27 June - 31 July?
If not then you've not achieved the threshold to qualify for holiday pay for those holiday weeks. Bizarrely taking holidays too close together
can disqualify you from getting holiday pay!
I've worked 8 hours ave every month. So july I've 2 weeks with 8 hours each and August ill have 3 weeks with 8 hours each. There is usually 4 weeks in a month so that's not a problem. I just thought the idea was to make sure if you usually did at least 8 hours a week then you would get that in every pay week even if you have 2 weeks in a row?
Yep, correct as long as you do 8 hours OT PER 4/5 WEEK PERIOD (not PER WEEK) so it sounds like you're well over the
threshold to qualify.
Seeing as you do this every week a thought I've got is that is this OT in the callers office Scheduled Attendance? If it
is it doesn't qualify you for holiday OT.
A second thought is that the process changed at the beginning of July as to when the holiday pay is paid ie when you take
the leave rather than twice yearly. Perhaps something's gone wrong there in the changeover.

Its so confusing. But thanks for answering me. I will have to try asking again at work and maybe they now will know the answer. Just so frustrating that hr can't answer the question. Who knows if we are being diddled or not!! Cheers and I think I should leave this thread and give it back to the person who wrote it

It's fine m8y, we're here to help each other. I've found out much more on these forums about the job than
I have in the actual workplace.
