Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

of work done, then for each week of statutory leave entitlement, they are entitled to a week's pay. Pay for non-contractual overtime is not included. If an employee's pay varies with the amount of work done, then the amount of a week's pay is the normal weekly working hours multiplied by the employee's average hourly rate over the preceding 12 weeks. Overtime hours can be included in this, although pay for these hours should be adjusted to the normal rate. Any week in which no pay was due, for hours worked, should be replaced by the last previous week in which pay was received for hours worked.

Shift workers

For tnese employees, their average weekly hours of work in the preceding 12 weeks are multiplied by their average hourly rate, which is calculated as above and can include any shift allowance which is payable.

No normal working hours

In these cases, a week's pay is the average pay received over the preceding 12 weeks. Any week for which no pay was due should be replaced by the last previous week for which pay was due.

Part-time employees

Part time employees are entitled to the same holidays as full timers, on a pro-rata basis. For instance, an employee who works three days a week is now entitled to 16.8 days' holiday per year (their normal working week and the standard 28 days pro-rated).
