Holiday Pay for PAYE Temps

All contractors accrue holiday enabling you to book and be paid for up to 24 days (pro rata) holiday per year (this comprises 20 ‘basic' days plus 4 ‘additional’ proportionately accrued over the holiday year).

What are the benefits of the accrual method?  You will receive payment for your holiday at the time you take it, you can even elect to be paid for public holidays (eg Christmas and bank holidays).

What is the holiday year? The holiday year runs from the 3rd of April to the 2nd of April the following year.

How do I book my holiday? You must get sign off from your line manager.  Forward your request to: timesheets.uk@whmarkssattin.com to ensure you are paid for annual leave (assuming you have accrued sufficient holiday at the point of leave). You can also fax or post this request. Ensure that you give both parties sufficient time to find cover for you if necessary. 

If I do not take my paid holiday, am I entitled to be paid accrued holiday pay at the end of my assignment? If you don not take the holiday you are entitled to and you complete your assignment within the leave year, without starting another assignment (through WH Marks Sattin) for at least two weeks, you will be paid any outstanding leave entitlement.

If I do not take the holiday I have accrued by the end of the leave year (2nd April) will I lose my entitlement? You will lose all ‘basic’ leave entitlement; only ‘additional’ entitlement may be carried forward into the next leave year for a maximum of one year.

How will I know how much holiday I have accrued? Your payslip will display your total leave entitlement, leave taken and leave remaining.
