Thanks Jenni - so I just continue as I am.

 

She is taking some planned annual leave, so do I just use the higher of average weekly earnings or normal weekly pay.  Her hours have varied from between about 10-40 over the last year with some weeks of no earnings (except for ACC as well).

 

Roll on revamp of the holidays act - in situations like this it is very tricky indeed!!
