A significant ruling on holiday pay for part-year (e.g., term-time) workers

The Supreme Court has, today, made a significant ruling in a case focussed on holiday pay for those workers who only work part of the year, such as term-time only workers. The outcome of this case is that part-year workers are entitled to the same holiday pay as colleagues who work the full year i.e., a minimum of 5.6 weeks based on statutory annual leave.

Details of the case can be found here.

Guidance on calculating annual leave for different types of workers can be found on the ACAS website.
