God only knows what it's like now Angard are running things but having been a Christmas Casual for the last 3 years you accrue 1.5 days per month, which works out at around 70quid, and is paid into your bank account the week after you've recieved your last weeks pay.

Apparently yes,and i think it's the law anyway.
Reports on here suggest that after you leave you get paid your accrued holiday pay.
Casual or irregular working patterns
If you work casually or irregular hours it may well be easiest to calculate the holiday entitlement that accrues (accumulates) as hours are worked. The holiday entitlement of 5.6 weeks is equivalent to 12.07 per cent of the hours you worked. The 12.07 per cent figure is:
5.6 weeks' holiday, divided by 46.4 weeks (being 52 weeks - 5.6 weeks) multiplied by 100 = 12.07 per cent
The 5.6 weeks have to be excluded from the calculation as you would not be present during the 5.6 weeks in order to accrue annual leave. For example, if you had worked 10 hours, you would be entitled to 72.6 minutes' paid holiday:
12.07 per cent x 10 hours = 1.21 hours = 72.6 minutes
The holiday entitlement is just over seven minutes for each hour worked.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I can confirm that the payslip from Angard does show "Holiday Pay Accrued". Interestingly it also shows an hourly rate of £6.03 :shock: (50 years old!)

Do you get that every week then? on top of your regular wage? or just at the end of employment?
