Our last Holidays Act Special Webinar was held in 2022, and much has changed since then.

The Holidays Act 2003 sets out a range of leave entitlements for employees, but its complexity continues to create major challenges for payroll. Misunderstandings or mistakes can expose businesses to serious risk.

All participants will receive comprehensive notes, including practical examples to support understanding.

Content:

• Determining taxable gross earnings
• What payments are included/excluded from taxable gross earnings in holiday pay calculations
• Determining a week for annual holidays (entitlement of four weeks)
• What is counted as continuous employment
• Issues with unpaid leave and what needs to be done for payroll
• Calculating annual holidays using AWE/OWP and 8% (pay-as-you-go)
