Case law continually produces changes to employees’ statutory holiday leave and pay entitlement, which is covered in this informative course, along with the various types of leave and the calculation of pay.
Who is this course aimed at?
Managers, supervisors and practitioners who need to understand both the legal requirements and the daily practicalities of handling holiday pay and leave.
What will I learn?
This practical course includes an overview of the legal framework that governs holiday pay and entitlement, as well as worked exercises to explore the calculations thoroughly.
It takes a scenario-based approach to examine tricky situations such as part-time workers, zero hour contracts and the entitlement to bank holidays, entitlement changes during the leave year and entitlement accrual during absence for other reasons.
Recent case law relating to holiday pay and leave will also be covered.
