If an employee requests to buy holiday we understand that we need to check that this doesn't bring their pay below NMW. When we do the calculation for a salaried worker do we deduct the purchased holiday hours from the total annual hours worked. E.g if someone earns £25000 and is paid based on 260 days x 7.5 hours pa (1950 hours). Hourly rate = £12.82ph. If they are entitled to 28 days paid holiday, but want to buy an extra 2 days in, say, the last 6 months of the holiday year, is it correct to say that the calculation of their hourly rate becomes: 15 x £12.82 = £2884.50. Salary payment total for final 6 months = ((£25,000/2) - £2884.50) = £9,615.50. Hours worked in final 6 months = (1950/2) - 15 = 960 hrs So, hourly rate is £10.02 ph and therefore below NMW?
