Rules

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 is entitled to the maximum of 4 working weeks' annual leave unless the employment ceases during the leave year. 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 working 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.

Part-time work: Generally, the annual leave for part-time workers is calculated using the 3rd method, that is, 8% of hours worked. If you work full time for some months and the rest of the year you work part time, you should calculate the leave for the full-time and the part-time periods of work separately.

If she is only working two weeks her holiday entitlements are nil

If she is working two weeks a month she will have holiday entitlements.

Your post is not clear which applies

Hi. And thanks for your reply. She will only be working with us for two weeks. Thats all. Does she have holiday entitlements? How many weeks do you have to work before you are entitled to holiday pay?

Unless you are aware of something that trumps the position set out in the Organisation of Working Time Act, then the previous poster is correct and their pay should include an additional 8% in respect of annual leave entitlement.

Its simply 8% of hours worked and not gross pay .

There is a difference if gross pay includes overtime / bonus etc

Yeah, because a casual temporary worker will be getting overtime/bonus... :rolleyes:
