Holiday Pay And Double Time

Summary

In England, holiday pay and double time for working on bank holidays are determined by employment contracts. Double time typically means receiving twice your daily rate for hours worked, separate from your regular salary. The Working Time Regulations 1998 and Employment Rights Act 1996 provide general guidelines, but specific terms depend on your contract. For case law, British Airways plc v Williams (2012) and Lock v British Gas Trading Ltd (2014) discuss holiday pay and remuneration. Consult a legal professional for personalized advice.

Full Conversation

in employment, is about separation of holiday pay and compensatory rest from pay owed for work on public holidays
In employment law in England:
- Holiday pay must be paid for statutory holidays.
- Compensatory rest should be provided if you work on a public holiday.
- Both holiday pay and compensatory rest are separate from regular pay for work done on public holidays.
Do you have a specific question about your holiday pay or compensatory rest situation?
Both holiday pay and compensatory rest are separate from regular pay for work done on public holidays? What do you mean? Like if I am salaried and i have to work on bank holiday and my contract says that I need to be paid at double time and given an alternative day of leave in lieu, these payments are not included in the salary although the *.* weeks annual leave entitlement includes bank holidays?
In England, if your contract states you will be paid double time and given an alternative day of leave in lieu for working on a bank holiday:
- Double time pay is additional pay, separate from your regular salary.
- The alternative day off is your compensatory rest.
- The *.* weeks annual leave can include bank holidays, but the double time and alternative day off are extra.
Is there anything specific about your contract you need more clarity on?
The *.* weeks annual leave can include bank holidays, but the double time and alternative day off are extra. - what law and case law confirms this for salaried employess?
In England, the Working Time Regulations * clarify annual leave entitlements and compensatory rest:
- Employees are entitled to *.* weeks of statutory annual leave.
- The *.* weeks can include bank holidays.
- Double time pay and alternative days off for working on bank holidays are extra contractual terms.
Would you like further details on any specific aspect of the Working Time Regulations?
so how many holiday days should I have in total if I work all bank holidays?
If you work all bank holidays, your total holiday entitlement depends on whether your *.* weeks of annual leave includes bank holidays or not. Generally:
- Statutory leave is 28 days (*.* weeks) including bank holidays.
- If your contract includes additional compensatory rest days for working bank holidays, those are extra.
Do you need more details on calculating your total leave?
I dont think you understand. yes, working a bank holiday gives you a day in lieu, that means that bank holidays because are worked are replaced by days in lieu. So the same number of holiday days in total
I understand, let me clarify:
- Your statutory leave is 28 days (*.* weeks), which can include bank holidays.
- If you work a bank holiday, your contract gives you an extra day in lieu, meaning your total days off remain the same but shift from bank holidays to other days.
Is there a specific aspect of your leave entitlement or contract that you'd like more clarification on?
if contract states double time for working a bank holiday, is a single payment included in the salary and a additional day`s pay makes it double if the holiday pay is paid at basic pay?
In England, if your contract states double time for working a bank holiday:
- You receive your regular pay (included in your salary) for the bank holiday.
- You receive an additional day's pay, making it double time.
- Holiday pay at basic pay would be separate from this arrangement.
Do you need any further clarification on how these payments are structured?
No, you dont understand again. Why is the salary considered regular pay for the double time? Because my salary includes working 6 days a week and holiday. My salary does not include comisions, bonuses or overtime. My salary is the same always, doesnt matter that I work or I am holiday
It appears there might be some confusion. Let's clarify:
In England, if your contract states you’re paid double time for working on a bank holiday, this usually means:
- Your regular pay (part of your salary) covers your standard working hours.
- An additional day’s pay (extra) is given for working on the bank holiday, making it double time.
Would you like details on any specific legal provisions or case laws related to this?
you are sure? I think you wrong, please rethink and tell me if I am correct. Because if annual salary is 35k and one days pay is *.*, and suppose I am working * bank holiday, it would mean that at the end of the year I would have *,*.* and if double time I must have *,*.*
I understand your concern. Let's break it down:
- Your annual salary of £*,* is for your regular work, including holidays.
- If you work a bank holiday and are paid double time, you get an additional day's pay.
So, if you work one bank holiday:
- £*,* (annual salary) + £*.* (one day's pay) = £*,*.*
- Double time for one bank holiday: £*.* x * = £*.*
Your total: £*,* + £*.* = £*,*.*
Do you need more details on how double time is calculated?
no, you wrong again. The days in lieu are part of holiday entitlement because they replace bank holiday, no? So no extra payment for them, isnt it?
In England, if you work on a bank holiday and receive a day in lieu, the day in lieu replaces the bank holiday. This means you still get your statutory holiday entitlement of *.* weeks, but the actual days you take off might differ. You are correct that if you get a day in lieu, there's no extra payment for those days off.
Would you like more details on specific legal provisions about this?
ok, so what is the correct calculation for the year if you work a bank holiday?
In England, if you work on a bank holiday and your contract provides double time and a day in lieu:
- Annual salary is your regular pay.
- You get an additional day's pay for the bank holiday worked.
- You receive a day off in lieu.
If you work one bank holiday:
- £*,* (annual salary) + £*.* (additional pay) = £*,*.*.
- You get a day off in lieu, so your total holiday days remain the same.
Is there another aspect of your contract you need clarity on?
something is wrong, you are missing something because working bank holidays worked are not included in the salary. They are included to be off, not worked. Double time means double rate, so your reasoning is flawed because end of the year you should have *,*.* not *,*.* Correct?
Hi there! Let's clarify this:
- Your annual salary of £*,* is for your regular work.
- If you work on a bank holiday and your contract states double time:
- You get your regular day's pay: £*.* (already included in £*,*).
- Double time means an additional £*.*.
- Total for that day: £*.* (regular) + £*.* (extra for double time) = £*.*.
- Year-end total: £*,* + £*.* = £*,*.*.
Is there anything else specific you need help with?
the salary is paid basic. holiday is paid basic not average pay, so how can a single pay from the double be included in the salary?
If your salary is paid at a basic rate and your holiday pay is also at a basic rate, then double time for working on a bank holiday would indeed mean an additional payment.
- Your annual salary does not change.
- For working on a bank holiday:
- Regular pay (already part of salary): £*.*
- Extra pay (double time): £*.*
- Total additional pay: £*.*
Your year-end total should be £*,*.*.
Would you like more information on specific legal provisions or case law regarding this?
yes, case law
Hi there! To clarify, in England, the Working Time Regulations * govern holiday pay and compensatory rest. However, specific case law on double time and compensatory rest for bank holidays can be difficult to identify without more details. Here’s some general information:
- Working Time Regulations *: Establish statutory annual leave of *.* weeks, which can include bank holidays.
- Employment Rights Act *: Addresses terms and conditions of employment, including pay.
For case law, you might want to look into:
- British Airways plc v Williams (*): This case discusses how holiday pay should reflect normal remuneration, including overtime.
- Lock v British Gas Trading Ltd (*): This case addresses whether commission should be included in holiday pay calculations.
If you need more specific case law, it would be best to consult a legal professional.
Would you like more details on any of these cases?
yes, you see, you wrong? If holiday pay should reflect normal remuneration including overtime, I am telling you that my holiday pay is paid basic, not average pay, is not including nothing except basic pay
Hi there! It sounds like you might have a valid point regarding your holiday pay. In England:
- British Airways plc v Williams (*): Holiday pay should reflect normal remuneration, including overtime.
- Lock v British Gas Trading Ltd (*): Commission should be included in holiday pay calculations.
Have you raised this issue with your employer?
so, in this context, is double pay formed as single pay from salary plus additional single pay. Or additional pay at double time?
In England, if your contract specifies double time for working on a bank holiday:
- Double time means you receive your regular day's pay (included in your salary) plus an additional day's pay at the same rate.
- This results in a total of double your standard daily pay for that day.
Would you need more clarification on the calculation or any other aspect of your contract?
yes
In England, if your contract specifies double time for working on a bank holiday, here's the breakdown:
- Regular day's pay is included in your salary.
- Double time means an additional day's pay at the same rate.

So, for one bank holiday worked:
- Regular pay: £*.* (already in your salary)
- Additional pay: £*.* (for double time)

Total for that day: £*.*
This results in £*,*.* at year-end if you work one bank holiday.
Would you like further clarification on any legal provisions or case law related to this?
if one regular pay is already in the salary, why do you calculate as extra at the end of the year?
It seems like there's some confusion about how double time pay is calculated.
In England, if your contract specifies double time for working on a bank holiday:
- You receive your regular pay as part of your salary.
- Double time means you get an additional day's pay at the same rate.
So, the additional payment is on top of your regular salary, to compensate for working on a bank holiday.
Would you like to discuss any specific legal provisions or case laws related to this?
double time means double hourly rate, why would it be different for salary?
In England, double time typically means you receive twice your hourly or daily rate for working on a bank holiday. For salaried employees:
- Regular pay is part of your salary.
- Double time means an additional day's pay at the same rate, resulting in twice your standard daily pay for that day.
Would you like more details on any specific legal provisions or case law related to holiday pay?
but working a bank holiday it has a separate provision in the contract, is not included in the salary
I see, if your contract specifically states that working on a bank holiday is not included in your salary, then:
- Your regular salary covers your standard workdays.
- For bank holidays, you should receive double your daily rate as an additional payment.
Would you like further details on how to address this with your employer?
are you sure about this last information?
It sounds like you have a valid point. If your contract specifies that working on a bank holiday is not included in your salary, you should receive an additional payment at double your daily rate for those days worked.
Would you like more details on how to address this with your employer or any specific legal provisions to support your case?
it is not specified that is included in the salary. It has a separate provision that states: if you are required to work, you will be paid at double time and given a day of leave in lieu" The day in lieu, yes, it is included in the salary, but not the double pay. Am I correct?
Yes, you are correct. If your contract specifies double time for working on a bank holiday, it means:
- Double time: You get an additional day's pay at the same rate, separate from your regular salary.
- Day in lieu: This is included in your statutory holiday entitlement.
Would you like more details on how to bring this up with your employer?
what is the difference between double pay and double time?
Double pay and double time are often used interchangeably but can have different implications:
- Double Pay: You receive your regular daily pay twice for that day.
- Double Time: You receive twice your hourly or daily rate for the hours worked.
Would you like any details on how these are applied in your contract?
how are different for salaried employees?
For salaried employees, the difference between double pay and double time is:
- Double Pay: You receive an additional day’s pay on top of your regular salary for working that day.
- Double Time: You receive twice your daily rate for the hours worked on that day.
Would you like more details on how this applies to your specific contract?
where is a law about this or where this information is stated or regu?lated
In England, the Working Time Regulations * and the Employment Rights Act * govern aspects of employment, including holiday pay and compensatory rest. They do not explicitly detail "double time" but address general pay entitlements.
Would you like specific references or help in addressing this with your employer?
ok, give me case law refeences with double time or double pay
In England, case law specifically addressing double time or double pay can be limited. However, here are some relevant cases that might be helpful:
- British Airways plc v Williams (*): Discussed normal remuneration, including overtime, for holiday pay.
- Lock v British Gas Trading Ltd (*): Addressed whether commission should be included in holiday pay calculations.
