On the 13th of May 2020, the department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) published guidance entitled “Holiday entitlement and pay during coronavirus (COVID-19)”. This confirms how holiday entitlement and pay operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is separated into the following topics:
- Holiday entitlement (the 5.6 weeks)
- Taking holiday (including bank holidays and the confirmation that employers can require workers to use holiday)
- Holiday pay (at 100% whilst reclaiming 80% for furloughed workers)
- Carrying annual leave into future leave years (the split of 5.6 weeks into 4 weeks and 1.6 weeks)
- Furloughed agency workers

We are pleased to see that this Great British guidance has a link to the Northern Ireland guidance too. This is very comprehensive and covers more than just holiday leave and pay.
