Irish Holiday Entitlements
Minimum Holiday Entitlements for all Employees (Temporary & Permanent) are as set out in the EU Working Time Directive 1997 (et al...).
What follows is a synopsis of your Minimum Entitlements:
If you work AT LEAST 117 Hours in a Calendar Month, you are entitled to 1.66 days per Calendar Month as Holiday Pay
If you work LESS than 117 Hours in a Calendar Month, you are entitled to 8 % of the hours worked as holiday pay.
EXAMPLE 1 - You Work 150 Hours in a Calendar Month (7.5 Hours per Day)
HOLIDAY PAY ENTITLEMENT = 1.66 X 7.5 = 12.45 Hours per month
EXAMPLE 2 - You work 100 Hours in a Calendar Month
HOLIDAY PAY ENTITLEMENT = 0.08 X 100 = 8.00 Hours per month
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
You qualify for Public Holiday Entitlement if you have worked at least 40 hours during the five weeks preceeding the Public Holiday.
