Is calculating Teachers holidays not necessary because of non-term time?

Hi Melanie

Teachers are entitled to the statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks. They are paid all year so that's 39 weeks working, 5.6 annual leave and 7.4 weeks additional pay. As the additional pay is more than 5.6 weeks you can allocate accrued holiday here when they return so additional time off is not required, and as they are paid they are not entitled to any further payment.

That being said, if hours reduce on their return and subsequently pay, you should top the pay up to the equivalent of the pay during the time they accrued the holiday e.g. if the fte changes from 1 to 0.6 you should pay the additional 0.4 pay for the holiday accrued.

In reply to Melanie:

HI,
I would put them onto the part-time contract, effective from the date they start back, and that becomes the pay factor that covers the holidays.
