Confused about holiday pay :(, is it right?

ShadowHearth

hey again, would really like to hear some advice on it.

I am taking holidays now, and i was told, that hotel has such system:

i am called part timer( i do atleast 45h per weak...) so i get 4 weaks of holidays per year. I get payed 8% of mine all worked ours.

I am payed hourly.

8% working out only half mine weaks wages .

Shouldnt i be payed just 40hours full weak for mine holidays? Can they even use such system?

And could someone explain, what am i entiteled as a minimum holiday pay, and how many weaks?

Now i did not got mine contract yet, but all people who got theyr contracts not signing them and just keep working. Becouse that contract is just a joke.

Now they calling me a part timer, but as i know: if i work more then 24.5hours per weak i am entiteled as a full timer...

Thx for all info guys, sorry i am not irish, so its a bit hard for me to get all that info myself, and office is trying to do everything to screw me

10 hours for every 120 worked for hourly wages

or day and qtr for every month worked used to the law, but it may have changed

For up-to-date info on employment rights:

8% seems to be allowable:

There are 3 different ways of calculating your annual leave entitlement:

* Based on the employee's working hours during what is called the leave year, which runs from April to March. An employee who has worked at least 1,365 hours in the leave year (that is, an average working week of 26.25 hours) is entitled to the maximum of 4 weeks' annual leave. Many employers use the calendar year (January-December) instead of the official leave year to calculate entitlement
* By allowing 1/3 of a working week for each calendar month in which the employee has worked at least 117 hours
* 8% of the hours worked in the leave year, subject to a maximum of 4 weeks

An employee may use whichever of these methods gives the greater entitlement.

An employee who has worked for at least 8 months is entitled to an unbroken period of 2 weeks' annual leave.

take a look here,
http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/employment/employment-rights-and-conditions/leave-and-holidays/annual_leave_public_holidays

8 hours per hundred (or 8%) is the minimum for full or part time staff.

if you have been there a short time you may not have built up enough hours to get your full weeks pay

So basicly, they can do this 8% thing? And theres nothing i can do about it?
