In the early part of 2023 the Government consulted on holiday entitlements for part-year and irregular hours workers. It contained proposals to change the way in which statutory holiday entitlements and with it pay for part-year, including term-time only, and irregular hours workers are calculated under the relevant legislation. This follows the Supreme Court’s decision in Harper Trust v Brazel which concerned statutory holiday pay for a term-time only, irregular hours worker (see Advisory Bulletin 705).
After seeking views from local authorities the LGA responded to the consultation. On the whole local authorities told us that they broadly supported the proposals and a copy of our response which reflects those views can be obtained by contacting [email protected]
We now await the Government’s response on whether and how it will take forward its proposals and any relevant developments will be reported in our Advisory Bulletins.
