Paid annual leave: "nothing in principle" to prevent inclusion of voluntary overtime in holiday pay
In a Northern Ireland Court of Appeal hearing, the employer's legal representatives conceded that there is "nothing in principle" to prevent purely voluntary overtime from counting towards holiday pay.
UPDATE: The Northern Ireland Court of Appeal published its full judgment in this case on 26 June 2015. See Patterson v Castlereagh Borough Council [2015] NICA 47 for a law report on the judgment and guidance on the implications for employers.
