Housing Association Staff

Two new enquiries about holiday back pay claims have arrived in recent days from staff employed by local Housing Associations - one from Glasgow and the other from Edinburgh.

Now I have to admit this is another group that I had never thought about in relation to holiday pay, because I've had some dealings with them in the past.

But apparently it is pretty common, from the recent enquiries to HBPC, for people not to be paid their 'normal' pay during holidays and annual leave.

And, of course, care and other support staff such as maintenance workers often provide a 24 hours/7 days a week service which means lots of people are working shifts and weekends, call outs, overtime and in some cases sleepovers.

So keep spreading the word because there's bound to be plenty of people out there who are not yet aware of their rights in relation to holiday pay.

Simple HBPC Test

Here's a simple test to help discover if you have a holiday backpay claim.

1. Take your entire wages for 3 months without holiday pay and divide by 3 to give you your average pay for those 3 months.
2. Then compare this average pay with your pay in the month you were on paid leave. 
3. If your holiday pay is less than your average pay, then it is less then it is highly likely you have a claim. 

If in doubt make a claim. 

If you don’t make a claim you won’t get paid anything - as many people found out to their cost over equal pay. 

If you the sums don't work out for you, then pass the word on to your friends, family members and colleagues as they may have a claim, especially if they work shifts or regular overtime.
