Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help please. When you work out the % to apply to the net pay of wages for the attachment of earnings deduction, do you have to take into account holiday pay as well? Or do you just base the % on the net pay for normal wages? Thank you in advance.

I am a book keeper (record keeper) for my husband and he has taken on a young helper part time paying him £100 a week.
