Employer guidance on holiday pay in Ireland

At Employers Direct, we help employers to understand their obligations when it comes to employee holiday pay entitlements. And we can help you too.

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.
