Do you get paid holiday pay when working overtime?

Ask your employer

Check your contract my daughter gets holiday uplift for overtime.

To be honest, I’m not planning on doing the extra once my contract finishes. I may as well work the extra in my 2nd job and get the holiday pay.

I do regular overtime and I also get it paid in my holiday pay. I get paid weekly and found it works better if i have the complete week off which will give me the same pay as if I've worked the overtime.

I’d say no, but only your employer can confirm

Beat me to it

I have asked and they say no, but I have a 2nd job on zero hour contract and earn holiday pay on every hour I earn?

If it's consistent and formally agreed to, it's basically no longer overtime and they should be taking that into account for holiday and redundancy pay.

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.

Seems unfair that you don’t get it!

I thought that by law, your holiday pay should be paid at your average hourly rate during the past 52 weeks taking account of all overtime worked.

I get paid holiday on 13 week average because everyone always does overtime.

Overtime, commission and bonus

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 get overtime rate plus a 'holiday top up' payment of 8.3% of the amount of overtime paid.

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.
