This guide covers payroll in the UK. You are viewing Nobicel for Ghana — see the guides for Ghana.
The statutory minimum
Almost all workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year. For someone working five days a week, that is 28 days. You can include bank holidays in this total, and you can offer more in the contract.
Part-time and irregular hours
Part-time staff get the same 5.6 weeks, pro rata to the days they work. For irregular-hours and part-year workers, holiday can be accrued at 12.07% of the hours worked in each pay period.
Holiday pay
Holiday pay should reflect what the worker normally earns. For at least the first four weeks, that includes regular overtime, commission and certain allowances, not just basic pay. For variable pay, a 52-week reference period is used.
Keeping track
Nobicel tracks requests, approvals and balances for every employee, and pays holiday through the same pay run as everything else.
