On 8 November 2023, the Government published draft regulations to amend the Working Time Regulations 1998. The amendments we cover in this podcast are;
- the creation of two new categories of workers (irregular-hour workers and part-year workers);
- the ‘reintroduction’ of the 12.07% accrual calculation for holiday entitlement for workers in those two categories; and
- lawful rolled-up holiday pay.
This is key legislation for employers who engage workers on any irregular contracts, especially following the Harpur v Brazel case in 2022.
In the podcast we will outline the new legislation in detail, noting when the provisions coming into force, whilst also providing practical examples and guidance for employers across all sectors.
