Denominator when calculating a "week's pay" is the weeks for which an employee is paid, which includes both working weeks and paid holiday.
Careers adviser Ms Agard claimed a redundancy payment. An employment tribunal awarded her £1,739.04; she argued that it should have been £1,973.33. The difference was derived from the basis of the calculation for a week's pay. She worked for 40 weeks per year during term time: she had to take her holidays outside of term time. Her salary was £13,155.39.
