Annual Leave

[tableanadchairs]

I am contracted to work 16 hours per week. Since the summer l have been working an additional 10 hours per month ( every second Monday morning) to help.
Should l have been entitled to pro rata annual leave for ths time worked?
I know it is too late now but woul be good to kow for the future>

Is it contracted?

As far as l can remember it was not in writing and l certainly did not sign an additional contracrt although there may be an email trail.
I did email to say that l was no longer doing the extra hours in 2024 so it is no longer relevant but l did just wonder what the situation should have been.

How were you paid for extra? Did it include an element for holiday pay or you would accrue leave at same rate as usual to take or be paid.

So was it overtime? If so then no your A/L would not be calculated on the extra 10 hours per month.

Yes your holiday pay should be an average of the last 52 weeks due to the good work plan.

Yes.
I work 3 days a week, and, when someone was on long term sick, I was asked if I would work and extra 1/2 day a week to help out for about 5 months

I did - only really to help my team, and of course I was expecting my pay to go up, but I was told I then had additional holiday, pro rata to the additional hours I had worked.

I'm not sure about the "too late now" (presuming you mean your holiday year is a calendar year?). If they have asked you to do the extra to help them out, it can't be beyond their flexibility to give you a day or two off carried over in to the next year.
Remember you are helping them out.

You can ask them to recalculate the extra regardless of when your holiday year runs.

To add your holiday entitlement stays the same but the payment should be higher.

Yes but only if its contractual for you to do the overtime. If its discretionary- so employer doesn't have to offer it and /or you're not obliged to work it then no.

Maybe if it is classed as sufficiently settled and regular even if not contractual, but I'm not sure a few months of 2 x half days would be.

so for a year l worked an extra 10 hours per month at normal pay rate. No additional holiday entitlement.
Really just wondering for the future but l have no intention of working more- too old to do it and actually they sould be employing someone to take up the 3 days that are no longer worked as colleague left. I am firefighting only the workload
