Q: Our Payroll system is now configured to show both hours and weeks accrued for Holiday Pay. We have a number of employees who are on minimum hours contracts.
When they take leave, are we OK to pay the number of hours they are contracted for at a higher rate or should we be changing their contracted hours before they take leave to reflect their recent average hours worked and pay at the reduced rate?

A: For annual leave it must be for the greater of AWE and OWP not just paid at the contracted rate (this is by law).
