Holiday pay and commission

摘要

An employment tribunal has held that it is necessary to add words to the Working Time Regulations 1998 (WTR) to give effect to the Working Time Directive. In particular, the week's pay provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996 should be rewritten for the purposes of the Working Time Regulations so that commission and similar payments are included in holiday pay. The decision, that commission should be taken into account when calculating holiday pay (even if unearned), will have wide reaching ramifications on the transport industry.
