NinjaTruncs wrote: » Do you have a contract? If you're being paid hourly your contact should say you get X per hour. The 8% should be on top of that. That's not too say your employer didn't say, you get X per hour including holiday pay to make it sound like you're being paid more.

I normally work in very regulated companies with regards to employees rights and benefits. So have never had to negotiate the following. My boss told me I was getting €12.50 an hour net. I get €350/30 hours = €11.66. He says he offers gross wage which includes taxes and 8% holiday pay. I work school hours so therefore will not have an income during school holidays or should there be another school inclusive lockdown. (However, I do have a second job so this is a little irrelevant) My payslip reflects the added tax, prsi and usc he pays for me so it’s all above board. Holiday is paid at 8% of time worked from what I can decipher online. And employer says this is included in my wage. I’m a pretty easy going employee to satisfy but I don’t want the piss taken out of me either. 8% of 30 hours is 2.4hrs equating to €27.98 weekly.(if calculated at 2.4@ €11.66 per hour) Take that out of €350-€27.98= €322.02 which means I work for €322.02/30= €10.73 per hour. I should be on €375 per week when doing 30 hours @ €12.50. Add in €12.50 p/h at 8% (2.4@ €12.50=€30) to include holidays and I should get €405 per week. So my question is, if I press him for what I should be getting, can anyone confirm if my figures are correct, I’m not too clued up on such things. That’s why I included my calculations. Thanks for any advice.
