Holiday pay: rolled-up pay, commission, overtime and backpay

At first sight the entitlement to holiday pay appears to be a simple employment right. But in practice, few areas of employment law have proved more complicated. This webinar will examine the various issues which have emerged from the legislation and appellate decisions, including recent developments.

Topics covered include:

• Who is entitled to holiday pay?
• Are the 4 weeks laid down as holiday pay by the European Directive to be treated differently from the additional 1.6 weeks laid down in our domestic provisions?
• What is the position as far as casual and part-time workers are concerned?
• To what extent is “rolled up” holiday pay lawful?
• Should overtime be included in calculating holiday pay: what if it is not compulsory? or not contractual?
• What about commission, bonuses and tips: how do they enter into estimating entitlement?
• In what circumstances can holiday entitlement be carried over from one year to the next?
• What is the current position regarding time limits and back pay?
• What constitutes a “series” of deductions in calculating time limits?
• What is the impact of the two-year limit laid down in s 23(4A) of the Employment Rights Act upon claims for holiday pay?
