Unlocking Holiday Pay - On-Demand

Unlocking Holiday Pay - On-Demand

We are delighted to be able to bring you our ‘Unlocking Holiday Pay’ event as on-demand training!

The sessions included in this training course were recorded at a live event in June 2024, in association with Carson McDowell.

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! 

In this On-Demand training event, Carson McDowell explains: 

  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!
