How do you calculate holiday pay for zero-hours or casual workers?

Rolled-up — 12.07% added to every payslip 52-week average of actual pay Not sure We don't have zero-hours or casual workers

Do any of these workers now work a fairly consistent pattern week to week, rather than genuinely variable hours?

Yes, a consistent pattern has developed No, hours genuinely vary week to week Not sure

Rolled-up pay is only lawful for genuinely irregular-hours workers — someone who's settled into a regular pattern may have quietly stopped qualifying.

For anyone on a minimum-hours contract (e.g. contracted for 35 hours) who regularly works more — is pay and holiday based on contracted hours or actual hours worked?

Actual hours worked Contracted hours only Not applicable — no minimum-hours contracts Not sure
