Holiday pay rules clarified – employees must ‘use it or lose it’
A judgment handed out yesterday by the EAT provides what one lawyer has called “much needed clarification” for employers on holiday entitlement and whether workers are entitled to holiday pay even when they haven't complied with an employer's rules for taking holidays. The case, Lyons v. Mitie, involved a claim for holiday pay from an employee whose request to take annual leave did not comply with notice requirements set out ...

I have an employee who booked a holiday in advance, he then became very ill two weeks before he was due to go on holiday and provided doctor's and hospital certificates to back this up. Were do I stand in regards to his holidays, does he get them back because he was sick at the time. Thanks Andy

Maternity leave, Flexible working and holiday entitlement
We have an employee who is not returning to work after her Maternity leave ends. Our Holiday year starts in January - December and nobody is allowed to take any unused holidays forward to the next Holiday year (Use it or Lose it is the Company rule) I know she accrues holidays during her Maternity leave but I believe they are lost if she does not actually come back to work or does she g...

Workers can reschedule holidays if sick during annual leave
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that workers who go on sick leave during a period that has been scheduled as annual leave should be allowed to reschedule their holidays, even if that means allowing annual leave to be carried forward into a subsequent holiday year. The ruling follows a House of Lord's judgment in Stringer V HMRC earlier this year, which won employees the right to accrue annual leave whilst they were on sick leave. Last week’s ECJ ruling stated...

Key Worker Holiday Entitlement
...hough I cant see why you have to on here) I take it you are an FM, therefore you most likely will have a deputy, policies, procedures in place to cover any eventuality/emergency within your premises. However all FM's are 24/7 365 days a year on call and most likely would cancel or even return from holiday early if it was important enough. What if your company had an emergency and you had to find alternative premises urgently would you not cancel your holiday or would you prefer them to get in a consultant? We cant afford to have 'Doubles' everywhere we work but sometimes we have to take stock of ...

Key Worker Holiday Entitlement
Hello Shaun If there are no other holiday arrangements or agreements within the company, in this instance you would fall back to the Working Time Regulations. The Working Time Regulations does allow employers to stipulate when annual leave can be taken, it also allows the employer to give counter-notice requiring that leave not be taken. ...

Sick workers allowed to carry over full 5.6 weeks’ holiday
In a recent Employment Tribunal case, it was ruled that sick workers can carry over the full 5.6 weeks' statutory holiday entitlement to the next leave year.

Each of them had had prolonged periods of sickness absence, with Mr Adams’ absen...

The case of Shah v. First West Yorkshire Ltd involved Mr Shah having bro...

Landmark decision finds holiday can be accrued whilst on sick leave
The House of Lords has ruled that workers on long-term sick leave do have the right to accrue holiday. The landmark decision, which was made this morning, is the final stage in a long-running argument about holidays and sickness absence in the case of Stringer v. HMRC. The case raised the issue of whether or not a worker can continue to accrue annual leave whilst on sick leave and, if so, wheth...

Annual Leave entitlement
I am unclear on something - if an employee is on maternity leave and has not taken her full entitlement of holiday and this runs into the next holiday year, does the remaining entitlement have to be carried forward to the next year, which logic says it should as there is no possible way she can take it, or is it at the discretion of the employer and she could therefore potentially lose the untaken days? I am st...

Key Worker Holiday Entitlement
...tinuity. When a company is in crisis (positive or negative) then you will want your key people in to ensure the right decisions are being made. Take it to another extreme if the company you work for is on the brink of administration how would you feel if the finance director says ' sorry I'm off on holiday?' or what if you had an out break of swine flu that's affected 30% of your workforce.......all leave has to be cancelled perhaps? Its unfortunate but these things do happen from time to time

Supreme Court holiday ruling important for education sector

European ruling on annual leave could have significant implications for employers
A ruling is currently being awaited from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on whether a worker's annual leave entitlement can expire at the end of a holiday year or specified carry over period if it is not taken, even if that worker has been sick and absent from work, therefore accruing several years' holiday entitlement. Owen Warnock, partner at law firm Eversheds, says that the KHS AG v Winfried Schulte case could have significant implications f...

Thousands of workers denied legal right to paid holiday
...ands of workers in low paid, low skilled jobs are being denied their legal right to take time off, a new report from national charity, Citizens Advice, suggests. The 'Give us a Break!' report, based on evidence from Citizens Advice Bureaux (CAB) across England and Wales, found that denial of paid holiday entitlement is widespread, especially among small employers in low-profitability sectors of the economy. While most working people take their right to paid holidays for granted, it found that many others are forced to work all year without a break, or only allowed unpaid leave. In the three years f...
