Reports relating to this case:

Holiday pay: Regular, non-guaranteed overtime pay to be included in holiday pay calculation

Date:

2 January 2015

In Bear Scotland Ltd and others v Fulton and others; Hertel (UK) Ltd v Woods and others; Amec Group Ltd v Law and others [2015] IRLR 15 EAT, the EAT held that payment in respect of overtime that the worker is obliged to work when it is available, but that is not guaranteed by the employer, constitutes part of the worker's normal remuneration and as such should be included in the computation of the worker's holiday pay.
Holiday pay should include non-guaranteed overtime, says EAT

Date:

4 November 2014

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has held that regular non-guaranteed overtime should be included in holiday pay calculations, but the EAT has limited the potential for workers to succeed with claims for historical non-payment of holiday pay.
