Everything You Need
A deep dive into what makes PayTrack's overtime & holiday pay module best-in-class
Statutory Holiday
Automatic 28-day (5.6 weeks) holiday entitlement calculation including bank holidays. Pro-rata for part-time staff and mid-year starters using the accepted 12.07% method.
Overtime Rules
Configure multiple overtime tiers — time-and-a-half, double time, weekend rates. Set daily and weekly thresholds that trigger enhanced rates automatically.
Holiday Accrual
For zero-hours, casual, and irregular-hours workers, accrue holiday entitlement based on hours worked. Compliant with the latest UK employment law interpretations.
Enhanced Holiday Pay
Include regular overtime, commission, and allowances in holiday pay calculations as required by UK case law. Automatic lookback period calculations.
TOIL Management
Accrue Time Off In Lieu when employees work overtime. Track TOIL balances, manage requests, and set expiry policies to keep things manageable.
Working Patterns
Support for different working patterns — standard 9-5, shift workers, compressed weeks, annualised hours. Each pattern with its own overtime and holiday rules.
Bank Holiday Treatment
Configure how bank holidays affect your team — deducted from entitlement, given as extra, or worked with enhanced pay. Different rules for different employee groups.
Payroll Integration
Overtime hours and rates flow directly to payroll. Holiday pay calculated at the correct rate. No manual calculations needed.
Compliance Reporting
Working Time Directive compliance reports. Track maximum weekly hours, rest break requirements, and annual leave usage to stay compliant.

Weekend Overtime
An employee works 6 hours on Saturday. The system applies double-time rate per the configured rules, adds it to their timesheet, and it flows into next payroll automatically.
Holiday Pay Calculation
A sales rep with regular commission takes 2 weeks off. PayTrack looks back 52 weeks, calculates average weekly earnings including commission, and pays the correct enhanced rate.
Year-End Accrual
Finance needs the holiday pay accrual figure for accounts. Run the report — total liability for untaken holiday across all employees, valued at each person's enhanced rate.
