Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what the Government's policy is on whether holiday pay may be calculated without reference to bonus and overtime payment; and if he will make a statement.

The Government guidance on this issue states that a week's holiday pay equals how much a worker receives for a week's work, excluding non-guaranteed overtime payments in most cases.

We are aware of relevant court cases, such as Neal v Freightliner which will be heard by the Employment Appeal Tribunal in late July.
