On 20 July 2022, the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited judgment in the case of Harpur Trust v Brazel, upholding the decision of the Court of Appeal. This decision will have significant financial ramifications for employers and employees alike with many employers having waited for the final judgment before making any adjustments to their holiday pay calculations.
From the conversations we’ve had with clients over the summer, we know that you are finding it difficult to understand the judgement and how it should be applied. It is a complex matter, which is why we held a webinar to share with you our understanding of the case, what it means for the school workforce and what we would do if we were in your shoes.
You can expect our usual style of practical and straightforward, ‘if I were you’ advice. As follow up to the webinar we will also be issuing an FAQ and a guidance note free of charge.
