About event

In this practical and interactive session, our experienced employment lawyers will explain the key issues you need to understand when handling employees’ holiday – including their entitlement to it, how and when they can take it, and how you should pay for it. We will cover:

  • Contractual and statutory holiday 
  • The order in which holiday is taken (in light of the Agnew decision)
  • Calculating holiday pay (including the concept of a week’s pay and normal remuneration)

We will highlight some common HR holiday headaches, such as:

  • The 'use it or lose it' principle (enabling/encouraging holiday, contractual carry over clauses, effect of Agnew)
  • The interaction between holidays and family leave (accrual, carry forward, effect of Agnew)
  • How to manage holidays and sick leave (accrual, taking leave, rescheduling leave, carry forward, effect of Agnew)

We will address the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in Agnew, including:

  • How this decision may increase your potential liability if you haven’t been paying holiday pay correctly to-date
  • How you might face claims even if you have been (and a possible defence)
  • How to assess your risk and determine your approach to compliance going forwards

To conclude, we’ll take a brief look at future Government plans to reform the holiday landscape including the Government’s recent announcement that it will introduce ‘rolled-up’ holiday pay for irregular hours and part-year workers.

You will be encouraged to join in the discussion and we will welcome questions live during the workshop to help you get the most out of the session.
