Introduction
The purpose of this section is to describe how holiday pay is calculated and how you can configure InPay to support your holiday scheme.
The Working Time Regulations mandate that agency and freelance workers have the right to 5.6 weeks paid leave each year. Some workers may qualify for additional paid holiday where they qualify under the AWR regulations for a role that has a higher level of holiday.
InPay allows you to set up a number of different schemes to meet your requirements. Some attributes of the scheme can be overridden on a per employee basis where required. InPay allows you to specify which types of pay attract holiday and which are excluded.
The calculation of holiday pay can appear to be complex. The rules mean that the holiday pay is calculated using the average of qualifying pay over the previous 12 weeks. If no work is undertaken by an employee in a week, the period is extended back until such point as 12 weeks have been found where the employee has worked or no more periods are available.
It should be noted that a holiday scheme has a single holiday accrual rate. On occasions you might have an employee who works for two different clients who have different holiday rates. In these situations you must choose which rate to use for the accumulation of days.
The hourly scheme is configured so that will accumulate a fraction of every hour worked against applicable pay and the rate calculated is the average hourly rate.
Importers are provided to allow you to set up your scheme.
