Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if her Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of issuing guidance to businesses on the potential merits of calculating holiday entitlement on the basis of hours worked on average across the year for people who work more than their contracted number of hours.

The Government has recently consulted on how holiday entitlement is calculated for part-year and irregular hours workers. As part of our response to this consultation, we will consider what additional Government guidance may be required to help employers in calculating holiday entitlement for their workers including those who work more than their contracted hours.
