Rolled-up holiday pay allowed for irregular hours workers and part-year workers

Implementation date: For holiday years starting on or after 1 April 2024

The Employment Rights (Amendment, Revocation and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2023 (SI 2023/1426) came into force on 1 January 2024. 

The regulations amend the Working Time Regulations 1998 so that rolled-up holiday pay will be allowed for irregular hours workers and part-year workers. Rolling-up holiday pay involves paying an additional amount representing holiday pay for each pay period throughout the year, instead of paying holiday pay at the time annual leave is taken. 

The change will apply to holiday years beginning on or after 1 April 2024.
