COVID-19: Holiday entitlement and pay during coronavirus

The UK government have issued guidance on how holiday entitlement and pay operate during the coronavirus pandemic, where it differs from the standard holiday entitlement and pay guidance. It is designed to help employers understand their legal obligations, in terms of workers who:

• continue to work
• have been placed on furlough as part of the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS)

Furloughed workers

Workers who have been placed on furlough continue to accrue statutory holiday entitlements, and any additional holiday provided for under their employment contract.
