FAO: GMB MEMBERS IN EDUCATION – Tayside Contracts
12th September 2022
Dear Member
RE: Holiday Entitlement Calculation
You may be aware of a recent judgement at the Supreme Court regarding term time workers and how their holiday entitlement is calculated.
In short, the judgment means if a worker is employed on a term-time contract and an employer has pro-rated their holiday pay, as opposed to calculating holiday pay based on hours worked in a normal week, then the worker will be owed money on the value of their holiday pay entitlement.
GMB Scotland has already written to your employer requesting a meeting on how this can be resolved and adjusted moving into the future. Once the details are known on how this will affect you, we will notify you in the normal manner.
In Solidarity
