For other types of scheme (ie where days are accrued) schemes where the type is based on pay frequency the current period will either accrue a full weekperiod's worth of holiday if the employee has had ANY pay, against ANY of the pay elements included in the scheme and there is no holiday taken during the period or, if where some paid holiday is taken , a partial week period which is based on the proportion of a set 5 day week that is assumed as worked (ie there is a pay against an element selected in the scheme) after any absence has been deducted (where the number of days absence is deducted from the assumed 5 day week to give the proportion out of five that is worked)or, where the employee has NO pay against any of the pay elements selected they will accrue 0.
