I’m on a 32 week a year, permanent contract, where I earn an hourly rate plus approx 12% on top as ‘holiday pay’. For the last 32 weeks, I have been working an extra day, (permanently agreed for those 32 weeks by my manager) and have been told to claim this as overtime at normal rate. They wouldn’t increase my contract, which is why I claim it as overtime.
Am I entitled to the extra 12% holiday rate on the overtime that I’ve worked?

Just be warned that pushing too hard could result in them paying the 12%, then stopping your overtime completely out of spite or penny pinching.
If you regularly get paid overtime, commission or bonuses, your employer must include these payments in at least 4 weeks of your paid holiday.
Some employers might include overtime, commission and bonus payments in your full 5.6 weeks' paid holiday (statutory annual leave), but they do not have to. This is because the law on overtime, commission and bonus payments being included in holiday pay is based on the EU Working Time Directive, which is 4 weeks' holiday only.

I'd say it's down to the employer having read the above online
This is in addition to my set number of days holiday given each year.
So my contracted holiday stays the same (days off) but I get paid money (8.3% of overtime amount) to cover what I would have got as holiday based on the overtime hours worked.
