Employment law webinar: Managing and calculating holiday pay for atypical workers
24 August, 09:30. Webinar by Thorntons.
A worker’s right to minimum paid annual leave is clearly set out in the Working Time Regulations 1998. While the amount of leave and how it should be paid should be straightforward, a number of issues regarding the way that annual leave should be paid, and how it should be calculated, have resulted in a considerable amount of case law in recent years.
Most recently, and of particular note, is the ruling in Harpur Trust v Brazel which addresses both the amount of leave and the calculation of pay during annual leave for those working irregular hours. The decision in this case has considerable ramifications for organisations which employ term-time staff, zero hours workers or, casual or bank staff such as schools, universities, colleges, the care sector, retail and hospitality.
In this webinar, Employment Law Partner Noele McClelland will examine the Brazel ruling in more detail, look at other issues surrounding annual leave and provide practical guidance on how to manage and calculate annual leave and pay for atypical workers.
This webinar will cover the following:

- the Brazel ruling
- what the ruling concluded
- the practical implications for employers
