Claimant won£540 awarded

Unpaid Wages

Employer: Lake District Hotels Ltd

The respondent was not entitled to require the claimant to take annual leave during his notice period without giving the statutory notice under Regulation 15, and the contractual clause did not displace that requirement.

Legal Issues (2)
  • Whether a contractual clause allowing the employer to require holiday on particular dates displaces the statutory notice requirement under Regulation 15 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The Tribunal held the clause was merely informative and did not oust the statutory notice requirement
  • so the employer could not unilaterally require holiday without proper notice.
