Unlocking Holiday Pay

Unlocking Holiday Pay

Online bookings for this event have now closed. To enquire please email claire@legal-island.com

We’re partnering with the employment law specialists at Carson McDowell to finally unlock holiday pay. Join us online, bring your questions and get answers from the experts LIVE!  

Since the decision in Harpur Trust v Brazel, the Supreme Court case of Agnew finally being published in late 2023 and the amendments to the Working Time Regulations were enacted in January 2024, there’s been a raft of webinars and articles discussing the legal detail and academic pros and cons of the law, but none that actually get to the heart of the matter – how do you DO a holiday pay calculation?(!) Until now! 

Join the legal experts at Carson McDowell as they explain: 

  1. The law as clarified by Agnew, the Working Time (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023 and Harpur Trust v Brazel. 
  2. How to do holiday pay calculations – through case studies and worked examples. 
  3. Tricky questions – bring your scenarios and real-life examples and put them to the experts at Carson McDowell! 

Cut through the noise, avoid the academic discussion, and finally get clarity!
