as I read it the

Should only really worry you-
if you have people on dodgy self employed contracts not getting any holiday pay.
if you deny the chance for people to take their paid holiday and have a use or lose policy.
if you have a holiday policy that does not provide enough paid holiday.

and best of all it could reopen those cases where the back pay was limited as the liability for further back now becomes due on leaving so no 2 year limit



If the EAT don't mess up this could be a good move as it could transfers more liability to the employer to pay for the holidays and get rid of the use or lose where employers try to stop people taking them as you just get them all paid when you leave.

probably one for a separate thread to discuss.

Yep - a lot of employers do have a use it or lose it policy ..then it becomes more subjective as regards whether someone felt able to take holiday. I know I personally gave up 3 days last year as I had no time to take it...I don't imagine I was alone in that where I work!

You need "use it or lose it" or people rack up silly amounts of holiday. I regularly lose days that I'm too busy to take, but so what?

That's up to you there are employers denying holiday those workers need protection.

This will stop "too busy at work" being a valid reason for employers and workers can leave their claim till they leave rather Tha have to risk their job exercising their statutory right.

Or employers have to implement carry over policies.

We do five days can be carried over, and more with manager's permission and if a vacation booked in "next few weeks". Before we did "use or lose" a lot of senior people were hitting 60-70 days untaken, which is madness.
