I receive an all-in salary, what does this mean?

Posted:

If you receive an all-in salary, it may be that your holiday pay and/or annual leave are paid out with it. In the CLA hospitality, it is agreed that this is only possible under certain conditions for temporary workers.

According to the law, it is permitted for holiday pay to be paid monthly with the salary. A condition for this is that it is included in your contract and clearly stated on your payslip. Note: you are always entitled to at least the statutory minimum salary excluding holiday pay.

Wages including annual leave are allowed, but certain conditions must also be met. You must be given the opportunity to take holidays. It should involve a small salary value and very irregular and minimal work. With a fixed number of hours, this condition is generally no longer met. Again, the condition is that this is included in your contract and clearly stated on your payslip.

Percentage for paying out holiday pay and annual leave

The principle is that normally when annual leave is taken, accrual also takes place. When the days are paid out, the accrual over the accrual must be calculated. Therefore, the percentages then differ from the regular holiday accrual and holiday pay, as stated in the CLA. The percentage for the monthly payout of annual leave is: 10.64% and for the monthly payout of holiday allowance: 8.85%.

For 20 statutory days plus 5 non-statutory days, the calculation is:

  • The employee accrues 152 statutory holiday hours over 1,976 hours (20*7.6=152) and 38 non-statutory holiday hours (5*7.6=38). In total: 190 hours.
  • This is achieved in 1976-152-38=1786 hours. 190/1786*100=10.638%, rounded to 10.64% of which statutory is 8.51 and non-statutory is 2.13.
  • For the holiday allowance, 8% over 1976 hourly wages is 158.08, over 1786 actual hours = 158.08/1786*100=8.851 rounded to 8.85%.
  • Added together 10.638+8.851=19.489 rounded to 19.49%. (rounded 10.64+8.85=19.49)
