Harpur Trust vs Brazel - UK Case Law

The Supreme Court in the UK has upheld the Court of Appeal's judgement on the Harpur Trust v Brazel case.

The ruling states that holiday pay for permanent staff who only work part of the year, such as term-time workers, should get a full 5.6 weeks of annual leave a year. Pay should be calculated over a 52-week average, rather than on a basis of 12.07%. The same principles apply to zero-hour workers, those on variable-hours or casual contracts.

Within FastTrack360, fixed period holiday accrual can already be configured and have the fixed accrual to accrue for those periods where the payee did not work. Some additional enhancements have been added to automatically pro-rate entitlement for those payees who start or terminate mid-period.
