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

08-06-2022

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

According to the law, it is allowed 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 little work. With a fixed number of hours, this condition is generally not met. Again, it must be 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, it is also accrued. When the days are paid out, the accrual over the accrual must be calculated. Therefore, the percentages differ from the regular holiday accrual and holiday pay, as stated in the CLA. The percentage for the monthly payment of annual leave is: 10.64% and for the monthly payment of holiday allowance: 8.85%.

For 20 statutory days plus 5 additional days, the calculation is:

  • The employee accrues 152 statutory holiday hours over 1,976 hours (20*7.6=152) and 38 additional 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 additional 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%.
  • Totalled 10.638+8.851=19.489 rounded to 19.49%. (rounded 10.64+8.85=19.49)
