Thank you but that really is absolutely no help at all. It seems such a shame that you can't just answer a straightforward question - you must surely know that your answer is unintelligible to the average person? I assume that ACAS will give me the same kind of answer so unless you are abe to give me a straightforward answer to my straightforward question, I have absolutely no idea what to do now.

Hi, Thank you for your reply HMRC. I'm really struggling to understand this part of it: "If the worker does not take the holiday, the holiday pay will remain included in the total remuneration and there is no corresponding reduction when calculating National Minimum Wage pay". Does that mean that, if the worker does not take the holiday then the total remuneration should be the minimum wage PLUS the holiday pay?

Is there anyone from HMRC who can help?

Hi, I am being paid the minimum wage for a job I am doing (I am not self employed and the minimum is what I should be getting). My employer tells me that they have included my holiday pay in my pay so I will get no extra amount (we can't take holiday while the job is going on). Is that right, or does holiday pay have to be paid on top of the minimum wage? Thanks!
