Good morning,

I've just become Chair of a Committee for my local pre-school (apologies I'm likely to ask a few questions to start with).  The previous Committee implemented a pay scale for employees (6 of them) and used the NCJ as their guidance. It's a Charity so we're not bound by it but it was easier than create from scratch.

As we're all volunteers in the committee and as it's a new committee nearly every year, it's all a bit of a mess...

We've just appointed an Accountant to manage most of our bookkeeping/payroll etc and we're both trying to understand how payroll has been calculated in the past.  

Could somebody tell me if holiday pay is already included in the NCJ payscale?

Payroll is definitely not in my area of expertise but the previous treasurer has added holiday pay on their hourly rate (they're all Term-time part-time employees) so for example, somebody working 26 hours a week:

26/5*28 days holidays = number of holidays in hours

Hourly rate * number of holidays in hours = holiday pay for the year

Gross salary: holiday pay for the year and gross salary

Is this correct?

Many thanks!

Marie
