Holiday Pay for Employed and Self Employed

An EU court recently awarded a man 13 years of backdated holiday pay. The EU court supported the man's claim for 13 years worth of unpaid and untaken annual leave despite him having a "self-employed commission-only" contract. His employers had refused to pay him holiday pay on the basis that he was "self-employed" and therefore any holiday he took was unpaid.
 
 This decision is significant

Christmas Gifts for Employees

Its that time of year when we may be thinking about how to reward our employees for their support during the year. Perhaps you are thinking about giving them a Christmas bonus or perhaps a bottle of wine and some chocolates. Or maybe you are planning to take them out for a Christmas meal or having a party.
