Will an employee accrue holiday during his or her notice period?
Yes, in respect of statutory entitlement to 5.6 weeks' paid annual leave under the
Working Time Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/1833). Workers should be paid for any outstanding part of the entitlement
on termination of employment. A period during which an employee is working out
his or her notice is a normal period of employment for this purpose. In other
words, holiday entitlement for the employee's final part-year of employment
should be calculated up to the end of the period of notice that he or she
works.
For the purpose of any contractual holiday pay granted by the
employer that is in excess of the 5.6 weeks' holiday required by the Working
Time Regulations 1998, payment for any outstanding holiday on termination
will depend on the employee's contract of employment and any policy or rule that
is incorporated into the contract. In the absence of a policy or rule to the
contrary, contractual holiday pay should be calculated in the same way as
statutory holiday pay, ie based on the total period of employment through to the
end of the employee's notice period.
