How do you calculate the holiday entitlement for someone who leaves an employer mid way through a leave year?
An online calculator is will be available soon on Business Link which can calculate the holiday entitlement for those starting or leaving an employer part-way through a leave year. If they left the employer after 1 October 2007, their holiday entitlement on leaving would be the proportion of a full leave year that they worked, multiplied by four weeks, plus the proportion of a full leave year they worked after 1 October 2007, multiplied by 0.8 weeks. For example, a worker leaves an employer on 28 December 2007, and their leave year runs from 1 April to 31 March. Their holiday entitlement is four weeks’ times 39 weeks [the number of weeks from 1 April to 28 December] ÷ 52 = 3 weeks, plus 0.8 weeks times 13 weeks [the number of weeks from 1 October to 28 December] ÷ 52 weeks = 0.2 weeks, giving a total holiday entitlement of 3.2 weeks. Any holiday they had already taken in the final leave year would then be subtracted from this total entitlement.
