Employer guidance on holiday pay in Ireland
Here to help you make sense of holiday pay
Under EU law, full-time workers are entitled to four weeks’ holiday pay each year. While this works as a general rule, variations can cause some confusion. For instance, part-time workers qualify on a pro-rata basis and self-employed persons receive no entitlement at all. And when an employee leaves, they may owe – or be owed – holiday pay, depending on their leaving date.
