FFS get new staff on a ZERO HOURS CONTRACT...it covers your a$$ if it goes bad with staff.

When  you take someone on, do it on a 3 month trial to see if they are suitable. Under 12 months you can get rid of them. Holiday pay is accrued from the day they start at 1.6 days per month worked. Bank Holidays are payable . So everyone is entitled to 20 days holiday per year plus 8 Bank Holidays = 28 days. If they work 9 months then that is 9 x 1.6 days = 14 days paid holiday. Take off the time he has already taken and that is what he is owed. His weeks notice money should come out of this if he finishes immediatly. Hope this helps. Always put someone on a rolling temporary contract after the 3 month trial and keep a holiday record.

I agree with previous posts as to ACAS. It isn't an issue you can take lightly so just phone them every time, at the end of the day it's free and it's quicker than posting on here and waiting to sift through the responses plus then you know you're getting the right info'

You don't have to pay holidays, as long as you put in in the contract. for jobs like a window cleaner I would say no paid holiday in the first year. Or one day a month pro rata.

If only it was that easy :

if im reading this correctly hes worked 3 months which is 3 x1.8 = 5.4 days entitlement plus his bank holidays which are statuory paid so approx he owes you half a day or so by my calculation

jusy pay him and move on
