Holiday pay for casual staff
Casual and irregular-hours workers accrue holiday based on hours actually worked, calculated as 12.07% of hours worked in simple cases, or using rolled-up holiday pay shown as a clearly identified addition on each payslip where that method applies. Getting this wrong is one of the most common hospitality payroll errors, and it sits alongside — not instead of — the guaranteed-hours changes due in 2027.
