href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/1128348\/holiday-entitlement-part-year-irregular-hour-workers-consultation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consultation paper<\/a> on proposals to deal with the impact of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Harpur Trust v Brazel that employers cannot calculate holiday pay for part-year (e.g. term time and zero hours) workers as 12.07% of the hours worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part-year workers are instead entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid annual leave calculated using a 52-week reference period to determine their average weekly pay, ignoring any weeks in which they did not receive any remuneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of Harpur is that part-year workers are entitled to a greater holiday entitlement than part-time workers who work the same total number of hours across the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers who work only a few weeks in a year receive the largest increase in holiday disproportionate to the hours worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government proposes to address this disparity by replacing the 52-week reference period which ignores weeks in which no work is performed, with a 52-week reference period which includes weeks in which no work is performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This would ensure that holiday pay and entitlement received by workers is proportionate to the time they spend working during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation seeks to understand the implications of the judgment on different sectors including agency workers who have complex contractual arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Government wants to ensure that any changes it considers does not have any adverse impacts on other parts of the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its impact assessment calculated that this change will save businesses \u00a3113m per annum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The consultation closes on 9 March 2023 and we will keep you advised of any further updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Government has published a paper on proposals to deal with the impact of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in
