Holiday Pay

In line with the Government’s Work Time Regulations (WTR) all temporary workers are entitled to 24 days paid leave per year, obviously pro rata to the hours worked.  Holiday Pay (HP) accrues at a rate of approximately 10.17% of a temp’s standard hourly rate, for each hour worked.  When a temp has accrued sufficient HP to take a day off/week off, they can book the time off with their consultant, who will ensure that their HP entitlement is processed and paid to them in the week following their leave.

The scheme is designed to encourage temps to take their holiday entitlement. Any temp that leaves an agency should request that all unclaimed HP be processed along with their final payslip and their P45.

At White Knight we are careful to abide by WTR guidelines and ensure that our method of paying holiday pay to our staff is as transparent as possible.
