After a very long wait, the Supreme Court has handed down a judgement on holiday entitlement in Harpur Trust v Brazel (the press summary is the best version to read if you are short on time).
The Supreme Court ruled that workers who are not full time, are still statutorily entitled to the full 5.6 weeks of holiday a year, without pro-rating for actual hours worked. Burges Salmon summarise the case here and the employee benefits article can be read here.
What now for employers? Rebecca Seeley Harris confirms in her article that all employers should now be using the ‘Calendar Week Method’ and should not be using the 12.07% against actual hours worked. BUFDG will be inviting Rebecca to join us in September to give an update on the ruling and any changes HEIs need to make.

UPDATE - Rebecca will be running a Time to Talk session for BUFDG and UHR members on Wednesday, 7 September, online, from 11-12 - click here to book yourself on.
