Alternative holidays

If an employee has alternative holidays that accrued from working on a public holiday and that have not yet been taken or paid out, the days are paid on resignation at the same rate as their relevant daily pay or average daily pay for the last day of the employee’s work, regardless of the rate of pay at the time they accrued.

Accrued alternative holidays do not extend the period of employment for the calculation of annual holiday pay.
