The government launched a consultation on calculating holiday entitlement for part-year and irregular hours workers on 12 January 2023. It was open for 8 weeks and closed on 9 March 2023.
On 8 November 2023 the Department for Business and Trade published the government response to the consultation on calculating holiday entitlement for part-year and irregular hours workers.
Following the consultation the government will legislate to introduce an accrual method to calculate entitlement at 12.07% of hours worked in a pay period for irregular hour workers and part-year workers in the first year of employment and beyond.
Other workers will continue to accrue annual leave in their first year of employment as they do now by receiving 1/12th of the statutory entitlement on the first day of each month.
