Holiday pay: The mistakes still catching employers out

Holiday pay remains one of the most technically challenging areas of employment law. Despite significant reforms in 2024, many employers are still applying the rules incorrectly – particularly when calculating normal remuneration and accounting for overtime, commission and variable pay.

With the Fair Work Agency expected to play a greater role in enforcing employment rights, ensuring your holiday pay calculations are accurate has never been more important.

This Personnel Today webinar, in association with WorkNest, will explore the mistakes employers continue to make, the risks of non-compliance and the steps organisations can take to strengthen compliance.

Editor Rob Moss is joined by WorkNest’s principal employment law adviser Lyndsay Gourlay and her colleague, Shaun Harper, a senior HR consultant, to examine the practical checks that employers should be implementing.

Well-Led in the CQC Framework

Changes to how Well-led is assessed under the CQC’s single assessment framework have become a major focus for providers.

 With inspectors placing greater weight on leadership, governance, and organisational culture, expectations around what constitutes effective leadership have evolved. As inspections increasingly use these areas to judge whether services are safe, effective, and sustainable, providers need to be clear on what is required in practice.
