Thursday 18th January 2024

From 1 January 2024, amongst other changes, the first four weeks of a worker’s holiday pay must include:

  • Payments, including any commission payments and performance related bonuses, closely linked to the performance of tasks which a worker is contractually obliged to perform.
  • Payments for professional or personal status relating to length of service, seniority, and additional qualifications. 
  • Other payments, such as overtime payments which have been regularly paid to a worker in the 52 weeks of contract.

The remaining 1.6 weeks of statutory leave can but do not need to include these additions.
