Payslip question

Before I email our payroll (I work in a v small organisation and it's outsourced so I don't know the person involved) I wonder if anyone can shed light on this.
I work part time a certain no. of hours a week every week, and am paid monthly. I also invoice for any extra hours I do, usually about 6 a month (have tried to get this paid in my core hours but I am coming up against a brick wall).
On my payslip it shows 'sessional pay', for these 6 extra hours which should be the same hourly rate as my salaried hours, but they are less.
So when I divide my yearly salary in to 12 months, that is correct as shown on payslip. When I divide the yearly salary in to 52 weeks and then divide that by my weekly hours, the hourly rate is less for the sessional pay by quite a lot (nearly £2). For example £15 for sessional and £17 for hourly.
There is also now a sum for 'holiday pay' as well which covers that £2, but this is quite recent, it wasn't there prior to a few months ago and I still had the reduced sessional rate showing.I understand there has been some change to how holiday pay is managed.
I work for a small charitable organisation, not a corporpate!
I am looking for a new role so I really need to know my actual hourly rate/FTE salary.

Sounds as though the £2 is holiday pay for each sessional hour paid. So £15 plus £2 = £17.
Not sure if it should be £17 plus £2 though? Any payroll person should know.
Is the holiday pay figure actually £2.05?

You need to ask your payroll, just ask for the hourly pay calculation as this should be transparent.
