Maybe employers that included weekends as part of the sick record, would be happy to pay for days 'off' sick at the weekend?

Thought not.

I suggest you contact your local Age Concern office, as they offer special terms for this age range.

You have missed the question. Should agency staff still accrue holiday pay during the period they are on holiday? I have now worked out that despite the holiday pay not being the same as an average week/days pay, in the long run the agency staff would still be paid the same as someone with normal holiday intitlement, the way it was calculated and the fact that a full days pay was not the same as a days holiday pay made me questioned whether this was the norm and indeed legal.

What is the legal requirement when calculating Angency pay. Would it be legal not to allow agency staff to accrue holiday, whilst currently on holiday.

Example

The system accrues Holiday Pay for each Temp at a rate of 10.17% of their basic wages.

10.17% is arrived at as follows:

4.8 weeks paid leave
52 weeks - 4.8 weeks = 47.2 weeks
4.8 / 47.2 x 100 = 10.17

They accrue approx 0.5 days leave for each week (or part thereof) that they work.

Holiday pay is only accrued on Basic hours. Other payments such as overtime and holiday pay itself are not included in the accrual.
