Members of the HR Inner Circle are welcome to attend for free.  Students on the Virtual Employment Law Academy will be sent a copy of the recording after the event.

This live Zoom presentation is your ONLY* chance to hear Daniel Barnett's views on this landmark Supreme Court case.

Daniel will be joined by leading employment trainer Darren Newman during the second half of the session, to discuss the issues raised and take questions.


* Daniel has previously spoken on this subject to a select group of CEOs, HR Directors and Legal Counsel in a closed private session.

Here's What You'll Learn...

1. What the Harpur Trust v Brazel decision says

Why did Mrs Brazel think she could get more than 12.07% as her holiday pay?
Where did Harpur Trust go wrong?
Why 12.07% is no longer an acceptable way to calculate holiday pay for workers who don't work 'normal' hours?
How do you deal with weeks in which no remuneration is payable?
What part of the law on paid annual leave is 'absurd', according the Supreme Court?

2. Why most advisors are WRONG about these solutions, and why they DO NOT* work

Solution 1: treating affected employees as 'workers'
Solution 2: terminating contracts, then re-engaging the individuals as self-employed subcontracters
Solution 3: terminating contracts between assignments, to break continuity and reduce holiday entitlement

* these solutions do not work in the majority of cases.  Occasionally, they might (to be discussed on the webinar).

3. How big is the compensation bill? What employers might be liable for in group action claims.

Problem 1: Does a three month break in underpayments prevent claims going further back?
Problem 2: Is the two year backpay limit, introduced in the UK by the Deduction from Wages (Limitation) Regulations 2014, effective? Or will it be struck down as a breach of EU law?
Problem 3: If the two year backpay limit is unlawful, how far back can employees claim under the Working Time Regulations 1998?
Problem 4: Can backpay claims also be brought as breach of contract claims (and go back six years)?
