Employment Blog - Calculation of holiday pay for temporary workers (23 April 2012)
Adecco, one of the biggest recruitment agencies in the UK and who have the contract to supply temporary staff to this summers olympics are accused of shortchanging temporary workers from accrued holiday pay. It is quite usual for temporary staff not to take holiday entitlement but instead roll it up and be paid for it at the end of the contract. Sometimes the accrued holiday entitlement would include a a fraction of a day. Adecco's practice in such circumstances was to round the entitlement down. The view is that the entitlement under the Working Time Regulations is that it should be paid in full, even down to a fraction.
