Tribunal watch: Holiday pay should not include overtime

by Stephen Simpson 17 Feb 2014
by Stephen Simpson 17 Feb 2014

Stephen Simpson begins a weekly round-up of links to stories about employment tribunal rulings reported the previous week. In the week beginning 10 February 2014, we reported a tribunal decision (now being appealed) that a worker’s holiday pay should be calculated by reference only to basic pay, excluding overtime pay, discretionary bonuses and standby allowances.

Tribunal decides that holiday pay calculation should not include overtime In Elms v Balfour Beatty Utilities Solutions Ltd, an employment tribunal found that a worker’s holiday pay should be calculated by reference only to his or her basic pay, excluding overtime pay, discretionary bonuses and standby allowances, taking a more straightforward approach than the tribunal in the controversial decision in Neal v Freightliner Ltd.
