Rolled-up holiday pay (sometimes hyphenated as “rolled-up holiday pay”) is the term used to describe when an employer includes employees’ holiday pay in their basic hourly wages instead of giving them paid time off.
In most cases, rolled-up holiday pay is considered unlawful. However, there was an official change in April 2024, where clear qualifiers were introduced. In the UK, rolled-up holiday pay is eligible for irregular-hours workers and part-year workers for leave years starting on or after 1 April 2024.
