Employee rights | 1m workers illegally denied annual leave

A study conducted by think-tank the Resolution Foundation over the course of three years has revealed that UK workplaces are flouting the law, with illegal practices becoming ‘far too common’.

According to the report, which was released to the public this week, a shocking one in 20 workers has no access to paid holiday leave, regardless of their legal right to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday per year. One in 10 also reported regularly receiving no payslip, despite this also being required as a basic practice for all workplaces within the UK.
