The holiday pay reference period is how we work out what annual leave you should have earnt. We look back at your last 52 paid weeks to calculate what paid leave you should be earning.
To prevent employers having to look back more than 2 years to find 52 weeks where you have been paid, the law means we can't look back more than 104 weeks to find weeks where you have been paid. This is known as the Holiday Pay Reference cap.
The new holiday pay reference cap has been in place for any timesheets dated on or after Tuesday 22nd November 2022.

How will my holiday pay be calculated if I've not had 52 weeks of pay?
If you have worked with us for longer than 104 week holiday pay reference cap but haven't had 52 weeks of pay, we calculate your holiday pay based on the number of weeks that have been paid in the last 104 calendar weeks.
What should I do if I have questions?
