The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ holiday pay toolkit for schools has been designed for senior leaders and their HR advisers. This comprehensive pack contains a range of resources to support schools and trusts in understanding and dealing with holiday pay, including detailed guidance and template letters.

We understand that schools and trusts are grappling with the complex legal rules surrounding holiday pay. We’re increasingly being asked by clients to advise on holiday pay, following the Supreme Court’s judgment in Harpur Trust v Brazel and the subsequent change in the law on 1 January 2024. 

With so many competing demands on school leaders’ and their HR adviser’s time, we have designed a toolkit to assist with understanding and implementing the holiday pay legal requirements to avoid employment disputes and costly tribunal claims.

Our toolkit is intended to deliver value for money, assisting you to implement the changes required at a lowest cost possible.

Who is it for?

Anyone working in schools and trusts involved in taking decisions or implementing changes regarding staff holiday entitlement and pay.
