Part time holiday pay entitlements

    I've a somewhat lax minimum wage part time job in a small shop, a contract was never mentioned when I accepted the job last summer and our paycheques are nearly always late. I was told by other staff when I started that I wouldn't get my first pay cheque for two months and that it would only be for the first month, and that was just "how things worked around here". After much complaining on my part we now get paid on average only two weeks overdue. I get payslips and I got my P60 so I know they aren't avoiding paying tax.

    I've taken time off for exams and the such, but I've never asked for holiday pay. I want to look into it it for the summer, but I'd like to know my legal entitlements when I inevitably hear that "we don't do holiday pay". As far as I know, every 100 hours worked gives 8 hours holiday pay. And that only applies to hours worked in the current calendar year, is that correct?

    drive32,hi!
    Yes you are right,Whether you are part time or full time you are legally entitled to holiday pay.As you stated it is 8% of you total working hours up to when you are going on holiday( 8 hrs out of every 100).It is for the current year.
    If they tell you that they "don't do holiday pay" tell them that they are legally obliged to do so.They are chancing their arm!

    My daughter worked part time in a small sweet shop last year and when she left she received all the holiday pay she was due.

    Look up www.employmentrights.ie for more info.

    Good luck
