Ive heard royal mail are about to be dragged though the court over the employment law...anyone else heard?..

Calculating the correct amount of holiday pay owed to an employee under the Working Time Regulations 1998 has historically proven to be a tricky task for employers. The regulations require employers to identify an employee’s ‘normal working hours’ and a ‘week’s pay’ when calculating holiday pay and specifically say that non-contractual hours of work should be ignored. In practice, this isn’t as easy as it sounds.

A 2011 case, Williams v British Airways, shed some light on the situation. The European court held the regulations should be interpreted in the spirit of European working time law and that holiday pay should be calculated with reference to both basic pay and any other pay “intrinsically linked” to the work, such as overtime. Now those principles have been tested for the first time in the case Neal v Freightliner [2013] (ET 1315342/2012).

Not on their own - its happening to most if not all firms. Although its more of waiting for a ruling than anyone being in trouble or being dragged into court.
