How To Manually Change From 4 To 5 Weeks
Overview
- Under Section 16 of the Holidays Act 2003 all employees were entitled to a minimum of 3 weeks annual leave a year.
- Schedule 1 of the Act increased this minimum entitlement to 4 weeks a year from 1st April 2007.
How Is This Handled In Ace Payroll?
- For staff receiving the minimum entitlement of 3 weeks annual leave a year, the change is automatically handled by Ace Payroll. Do nothing, and the change to 4 weeks a year is automatic.
- For staff that were already receiving 4 weeks a year, Ace Payroll also does nothing. The employee entitlement stays at 4 weeks a year.
- These notes apply to employers that paid their staff 4 weeks a year before 1st April 2007, and now wish to increase the entitlement to 5 weeks a year.
- Our research has indicated that less than 1% of employers intend to do this.
Detailed Instructions
- Ace Payroll contains a number of different methods for the calculation of annual leave, to suit employer preferences.
-
If using the default
Annual Leave
method then
follow these instructions.
-
If you have chosen to use the
Percentage Of Gross
method then
