The Government has published a revised holiday entitlement calculator, intended as a temporary replacement while the original calculator “undergoes maintenance”, to enable workers to calculate the minimum statutory annual leave they should receive based on their time in employment. The calculator is accompanied by online guidance for employers on how to calculate statutory holiday entitlement for workers on different types of contract and a similar downloadable guide on calculating statutory holiday entitlement for workers. The guidance states that for those workers who do not have a regular working pattern, holiday entitlement should generally be calculated in weeks.

This guidance does not cover the calculation of holiday pay, only holiday entitlement.
