Holiday legalities and pro-rata calculation
Discussion
Been a while since I did this and last time I did, I had someone to do it for me. Just need a quick sense check!
I'm recruiting a team of four people to work on a small project. Each will be assigned 160 hours of work at £15ph. (Hours might increase to 200). They'll be employed PAYE.
As it's a short project, our preference is that they don't take holiday during this contract period. Instead, we'll pay them their holiday entitlement at the end.
First question: Can we stipulate this or do we have to state it just as a preference?
On the basis of standard holiday entitlement being 20 days plus 8 days public holidays, I've worked out the pro-rata days are 2.25 (18 hours).
Second question: Is that right?
Thanks chaps.

My first question would be why put it under PAYE if it is a specific short term contract, looks like 4 weeks?
Normal multiplier would be 12.07% as an additional amount to cover holidays.
Thanks. Normal multiplier would be 12.07% as an additional amount to cover holidays.
PAYE - our client is a local authority and they specify the terms. Bit of a pain but it is what it is!

A local authority states that everybody working for it must be PAYE? I've heard the 'must be a limited company' line but not that one. How you pay people should be your business, not theirs.Simpo Two said:

PAYE tends to attract a higher calibre applicant and we're not having to administer and check time sheets and what-not.
