Holiday and overtime - mixed week

the maoster:

Conor:
Holiday Pay where overtime is compulsory is calculated as an average of the previous 12 months daily/weekly pay so it’s irrelevant.

That’s not what he’s asking.

My contract states 50 hours per week, meaning I get overtime after that. If I for example take one day off then my overtime kicks in after forty hours and so on.

Yes this for me too.

OP have a mooch at your T&Cs as you can see its a varied thing depending on the contract and company.

For me if I have a day off on holiday my overtime kicks in a day earlier. So my normal contract is overtime after 46.25hrs (9 25hrs per day) but if I had a day holiday my overtime would kick in at 37hrs, two days holiday overtime would kick in at 27.75hrs etc etc

It works the other way for me too, ie if I’ve done my contracted weekly hours in four days (very very unlikely) then I can sack the fifth day off.
