Promotional and Event Holiday entitlements

    Hi,

    Just wondering if someone could help me with a few queries? I am on contract a casual member of staff for a event and promotional company. My hourly rate is dependent on the amount of hours I have worked that day ie 2 hours of work is 16.25, 4 hours is 12.50 and it goes down to around 10euro for 6 hours.

    I have worked also in the warehouse which is 8.65 a hour during the summer and was working roughly 30 hours a week.

    We do not get holiday pay but I am wondering if I am entitled to pay for public holidays like most employees? Also I am leaving the company and I have never received a annual leave.

    In 2010 I started in Septemeber, made around €2000
    In 2011 I made roughly €11000 (year I worked in the warehouse for the summer)
    In 2012 I made about €1500
    So far in 2013 its about €1000.

    Am I entitled to annual leave in lieu and public holiday pay in lieu?

    Thank you :)

    You'd have to have worked 40h in the 5 weeks before the public holiday to get paid (you should then get paid 1/5th of your average weekly salary).

    For annual leave due to the hours you'd work it would be easiest calculated as 8% of actual hours worked (so you'd need to know the total hours you worked and multiply by 8% to get you an idea on the number of holiday hours you're entitled to).

    As far as I know casual employees would still follow the above calculation (but I'm open for correction on that).

    Yes I believe casual workers recieve the same treatment, I understand the 8% of hours is capped at 40hours. Is that 40hours total or for 8% per week of annual leave I am entitled to?

    It's capped in the sense of a 40h week (i.e. any given week you can get only 3.2h of holiday accrued by working 40h+).
