What Employers Must Know About the Public Holidays

Based on the regulations, employees are entitled to four weeks of paid leave annually. Acquiring these rights have no qualifying period, but an employee’s entitlement accrues at 1/12 a month. That means a one-week leave must allow the employee to not work for a week. It must have the same timeframe as a workweek. Therefore, if a person is working five days a week, he or she can take a leave of 20 days per year. If the employee works 3 hours a week, he or she can take a 12-hour leave.

In case the employee must work on a public holiday during Christmas to New Year, the lieu day can be claimed any time, based on their agreement with the employer, as long as it is on or before August 31.

Employee Benefits During Public Holidays

If the basis of a worker’s regime is patterned after weekly or monthly hours instead of fixed days, it will not be possible to determine what a ‘day’ is, and this requires a different calculation.

For instance, if a person works for 35 hours a week, he or she can have a paid holiday of 140 hours (35 x 4).

If the employee renders 100 hours in a month, their total hours of work in a year is 12 x 100 – 1200 4/52 x 1200 = 92.317 hours of paid holiday.

A general statutory entitlement is not specified for those who work on a holiday. Based on reasonable restrictions when they are allowed to take a leave, a worker who does not receive extra payment for a bank holiday may take a holiday break. They can do this to receive a holiday payment.

As for the holiday pay, for every week of annual leave, the employee must be paid for the entire week.

The rolled-up holiday pay is normally given when the employee takes the leave, but sometimes it can be given in instalments. It is when it comes to accruing a pro-rata basis, in addition to the ordinary wages of the worker.
