The Government has launched a consultation on holiday entitlement this month, following the judgment of the Supreme Court in July 2022 in the case of the Harpur Trust v Brazel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An anomaly has occurred as a result of the judgment. Part-year workers are now entitled to a greater holiday entitlement than part-time members of staff who work the same number of hours over the course of the year. The consultation is focused on addressing this disparity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court case confirmed that holiday entitlement for permanent part-year workers on zero-hours contracts should not be pro-rata to that of a full-time worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proportionate pay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launching the consultation, which runs until 9 March, the Government says it wants to tackle any disparity by ensuring that holiday pay and entitlement received by workers is proportionate to the time they are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part-year workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of statutory annual leave calculated using a holiday entitlement reference period to determine their average weekly pay, ignoring any weeks in which they did not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to current legislation are likely to affect those in the education sector who commonly use term-time contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it could also pose new HR problems for employers with zero-hours, variable hours or agency staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching assistants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Government estimates that between 320,000 and 500,000 permanent term-time and zero-hours contract workers will receive more holiday entitlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 37 per cent of these are workers in the education sector, such as teaching assistants who are employed on part-year contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case concerned the calculation of holiday pay and entitlement of a permanent part-year worker, in this case, a music school teacher. As part of a zero-hours part-year contract, she worked at a school on a regular basis and was only paid for the work she carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) proposes the introduction of a holiday entitlement reference period for part-year and irregular hours workers, to ensure that their holiday pay and entitlement are directly proportionate to the time they spend working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will involve calculating hours worked in the previous 52 weeks and multiplying them by 12.07 per cent to find a part-year worker\u2019s annual statutory entitlement in hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
