Holiday pay hub
Published on 2nd Jun 2015
Holiday pay sounds straightforward. And it should be straightforward – a worker takes a day’s holiday and is paid a fixed amount for that day. However, recent cases and media attention on multi-million pound holiday pay pay-outs in the retail sector, have thrown the UK rules on calculating holiday into turmoil, raising the following issues:
- Are employers been paying holiday correctly?
- If not, are they liable for holiday back-pay?
- Do they need to change how they pay holiday going forward?
The potential costs for employers, financial and otherwise, could be significant.
