Annual Leave for Hourly Employees: What You Need to Know
JUN 5, 2026
Managing holiday entitlement for hourly and variable-hours workers has its own rules. Here is a plain-language guide for HR teams.
小时工的法定最低标准
In the UK, all workers, including those on zero-hours, casual, and variable-hours contracts, are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid annual leave per year. For workers whose hours vary, the leave entitlement is calculated as 12.07% of hours worked in the preceding 52-week reference period. From April 2024, rolled-up holiday pay, where leave pay is included in the hourly rate, became lawful again for irregular-hours and part-year workers, provided it is calculated correctly and shown separately on payslips.
如何为变动工时员工计算假期工资
不规律工时员工的假期工资必须反映其在过去 52 周内的平均工资（不包括无工资周）。这意味着加班费、佣金和常规轮班津贴都必须计入计算，而不仅仅是基本小时工资。未纳入这些因素一直是劳动法庭索赔的重要来源。能够跟踪所有薪酬组成部分并自动计算 52 周平均值的 HRIS，可以消除人工错误的风险。
应避免的常见错误
在小时工假期管理中最常见的错误包括：假期工资计算未纳入加班费，使用短于 52 周的参考期，没有提供已休假和剩余额度的清晰记录，以及在未按要求提前通知和协助安排的情况下实施“用不完就作废”政策。如果一系列少付工资被认定存在关联，员工可以就过去数年的少付假期工资提出索赔。强烈建议定期审计假期工资计算。
