Ministers set out stance on holiday pay

Monday 27th October 2014

Ministers are set to intervene in a long-running row over how companies calculate holiday pay, in the face of a huge amount backdated claims from staff. Rulings in two crucial employment tribunal cases are expected within days. They relate to whether employers should include overtime when assessing holiday pay. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has said it wants to see a fair outcome, but has also stressed: “We do not believe voluntary overtime should be included in holiday pay and are concerned about the potential impact on employers.”
