Holiday Pay And Agency Workers

The consultation follows last year's high profile Supreme court decision of Brazel v Harpur Trust where the Supreme Court held that permanently retained part year and irregular hour workers were entitled to 5.6 weeks statutory annual leave.

Many temp agency workers are retained on the books of the temp agency and often work irregular hours particularly those who are bank staff and generally supply their services as required. Such persons under the Brazel decision would be entitled to the full 5.6 weeks annual leave.
