Calculating holiday entitlement for part-year and irregular hours workers
We're seeking views on proposals to pro-rata holiday entitlement for part-year and irregular hours workers based on the annual hours they work.
We are consulting on the calculation of holiday entitlement received by part-year and irregular hours workers, following the recent Supreme Court judgment in Harpur Trust v Brazel.
In the consultation we propose to introduce a holiday entitlement reference period for part-year and irregular hours workers, to ensure that their holiday pay and entitlement is directly proportionate to the time they spend working.
We also want to understand how entitlement is currently calculated for agency workers and how the consultation proposal might be implemented.
This consultation may be of interest to:
- employers
- workers
- business representative groups
- unions
- those representing the interests of groups in the labour market
