How will holiday pay for employees on variable pay be calculated from 2020?

Employees on variable pay will not get holiday pay

They will be treated exactly the same as regular employees

It will be calculated on the basis of the 52 preceding weeks as opposed to the 12 weeks now

It will be calculated on the basis of the 26 preceding weeks

Why will the variable pay holiday calculation be complex?

Because it will create more problems with gender pay gap reporting

Because of employees taking maternity leave

Because we don't currently have the software to calculate it

Because it includes employees doing overtime, receiving commission or bonuses

Give the most generous terms possible anyway
