Overview
Holiday pay and leave has been recently subjected to numerous case law decisions and statutes, becoming a difficult provision to manage correctly. Administering this statutory and often contractual right usually falls to payroll and HR to jointly handle and this course is aimed at both disciplines.
Commencing with a detailed explanation of the impact of influential case law and statutes and the differences between the different types of annual leave, delegates are taught how to apply these parameters to a range of circumstances from backpay to part-time entitlements. The interaction between holiday leave and sickness and maternity leave is also explored.
Who is this course for?
Payroll Administrators, Payroll Coordinators or Payroll Supervisors working in either a payroll bureau, accountancy firm or in-house payroll team who have minimum/living wage entitlement calculations as part of their remit.
Payroll Managers & HR Managers with responsibility for ensuring their organisations are compliant with minimum/living wage rates would equally benefit.
What will you achieve?
To provide delegates with the underpinning knowledge, case law and statutes which govern holiday pay and leave calculations and apply this knowledge in a range of circumstances, so they can manage this provision for their organisations accurately and professionally.
