An employment expert at Forbes Solicitors is warning that the ruling in relation to overtime and holiday pay will prove costly for employers.
Peter Byrne, partner at Forbes Solicitors, said: “What is clear now is that the cost to businesses is likely to increase significantly. It is not yet known how the holiday pay is to be calculated and in some circumstances historical claims could be backdated as far back as 1998 when the Working Time Regulations were introduced.
It is anticipated that the decision will be the subject of a further appeal, so it may be some time before a final outcome with true certainty is known. The Employment Team at Forbes' has produced a briefing note to explain what this ruling will mean for employers. For a free copy please contact Amy Stokes on 01254 222309 or [email protected]
