Tribunal decision on holiday pay and sick leave

Last year’s Stringer case established that employees could claim for accrued holiday pay over previous years, but in the recent case of Kahn v Martin McColl a Tribunal has ruled that payment for a sick employee’s final holiday year meant that claims for previous years were out of time. 

 However, this decision is not binding and appears to conflict with other tribunals’ decision (see our news item from February here, with links to further information).  

We are waiting for further developments and guidance.
