Empowering Agency Workers
Your Holiday Entitlement Could Be Changing!
Episode notes
A recent tribunal case is set to have a massive impact on how holiday is calculated for all workers who's hours vary, and this of course includes temporary workers. The case involves Mrs Brazel who was a visiting music tutor at Harpur Trust school. Brazel was engaged on a zero hours contract and queried how her holiday was calculated. Whilst it seems logical for holiday to be accrued proportionately to the number of hours worked, this case questions that assumption. As with most legal cases, it isn't straight forward! So we’re chatting to legal expert and friend of the show Rebecca Seeley-Harris who sheds some much-needed light on the detail for us. Join us to find out:
- Background to the case and how Mrs Brazel's holiday was being calculated;
- Why this case, and the interpretation of legal statute is so important;
- What needs to change as a result of this case, and who is affected;
- How your holiday is calculated - what is 'rolled up' and 'accrued' holiday;
- Why it's essential that your umbrella or agency ensures you are aware of your holiday entitlement.
