How is annual leave rate of pay calculated?

Specifically in Lidl? I've misplaced my contract of employment and don't fancy asking about it until I research a little.
I'm on a 10 hour contract, but regularly do 30 hour weeks. All of my co-workers are on 20 hour contracts. I never get below 20 hours of work per week anyways, but, am I losing out on total annual leave days accrued or the rate of my holiday pay over my colleagues due to my lower contract based on how Lidl operate around this?

Thanks!

I believe it is 8% of actual hours worked. The holidays, bh payments are calculated on actual hours not contract.

It should be 8% of hours worked in the last 13 weeks averaged out. Where I work everyone I'd on a 8 hr minimum contract but that's how we calculate.

So going on these numbers it looks like you're entitled to take around 2.5 days over the past 13 weeks based on an average of 20 hours a week.

No your holidays is 8% of total time worked in year...

Holiday pay, ie. Bank holidays is the average of the time worked the previous 13 weeks. (Last place i worked was 5 weeks, don't know current employers policy)

I got in contact with HR and they told me that:

"The rate of an employees holiday pay is calculated by comparing their average actual pay with their contract hours over a 3 month period."

They use this example to illustrate this:

Average actual pay (3 months) = €402.24
Average contact hours (3 months = €346.64
Rate of holiday pay= 402.24/346.64= > 1.16

Therefore, the employee in this example is entitled to 16% of of his/her hourly rate, paid as an additional premium.


Can anyone get their head around this? Still not sure whether I'd be getting a better holiday rate if I was on a 20 hour a week contract as opposed to a 10 hour one.
