The Government has laid new regulations before parliament. A key element was yet more changes to holidays and holiday pay effective from April this year.
April ’24 lead date
The new Regulations took effect on 1st January 2024. However, they relate to leave years starting on or beyond April 1st. Of course, most employers use a 1st January – 31st December leave year - which may mean some HR head-scratching to decide what to do and from when.
If you decide to change your current arrangements, you may well need to advise existing staff what you intend and why. Luckily, the Department for Business and Trade has published detailed guidance to help, which is available on gov.uk.
