Episode Four: Holiday Pay (Part two) – Harpur Trust v Brazel

In brief

The Baker McKenzie London Employment team is delighted to welcome you back to our virtual mini-series, “Employment Rights: is 2022 the year of enforcement?“, with episode four, which is part two of our holiday pay focus during which we’ve explored key considerations for employers who are managing the thorny issue of holiday pay. This episode builds on that discussion with analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in the Harpur Trust v Brazel case, which is likely to require many employers to change the way they calculate holiday pay for atypical workers such as casual, bank and zero hours staff (amongst others).

In this episode Richard Cook and Amy Ling dissect the case, explore how this will impact those groups, and look at some practical ways employers can mitigate the impact of the decision.
