Decision details

To discuss and agree the approach to Holiday Pay in light of the Supreme Court Judgment in the case of Harpur Trust and Brazel.

Councillor Mullin introduced the report which was in response to the case of Harpur Trust v Brazel and followed legal advice given to the council and the options available.

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet delegate authority to the Chief Executive in conjunction with the Corporate Manager, People and Organisational Development to negotiate a settlement in lieu of back payments of holiday pay for all those in scope to ensure fairness and parity, settle the grievance submitted by UNISON and avoid the inevitable negative impact on long-term relationships between the Council and its employees, and the recognised Trade Unions.
