Accrued and rolled up holiday pay

During other forms of leave such as Ordinary Maternity Leave (OML), Additional Maternity Leave (AML), Ordinary Paternity Leave (OPL), Additional Paternity Leave (APL), Adoption Leave (AL), Shared Parental Leave (SPL) and sick leave, an employee's entitlement to holiday pay will continue to accrue at the normal rate of pay stipulated in the contract of employment.

Employees will be entitled to be paid on their return to work, or be paid in lieu if their employment is terminated, for holiday which has accrued in the previous holiday year (see Holiday carry over).

Rolled up holiday pay

Where an employee is paid an additional amount per hour/day/week to reflect holiday which has accrued, the practice is referred to as rolling up holiday pay. It used to be regularly used for seasonal or temporary workers.

This practice should no longer be used by employers. If you need to speak to someone in relation to rolled up holiday pay, please contact the HR Service
