Holiday pay has become one of the most difficult compliance issues facing employers in Northern Ireland.
Few employers are completely confident they're calculating holiday pay correctly. It's an issue many HR and payroll professionals quietly worry about. Long-standing payroll practices may no longer be compliant, and many organisations simply don't know where they stand.
This practical half-day event, delivered in association with Arthur Cox, will help you replace uncertainty with confidence. Through expert guidance and practical examples, you'll learn how holiday pay should be calculated, where employers most commonly make mistakes, and what steps you should take to review your own organisation's approach.
If you have any doubts about your holiday pay calculations, this event will give you the practical knowledge you need to move forward with confidence.
By attending, you'll learn how to:
Northern Ireland employers face a different level of risk from employers in Great Britain.
Unlike GB, Northern Ireland has no statutory two-year limit on unlawful deduction claims for holiday pay. Where holiday pay has been calculated incorrectly over a sustained period, organisations could face claims reaching back many years, potentially as far as 1998, depending on the circumstances.
Understanding whether your current approach is compliant has never been more important. This event moves beyond legal theory to focus on the practical steps HR and payroll professionals can take to identify potential issues, understand their exposure and improve confidence in their holiday pay processes.
You'll leave with practical guidance, worked examples and a clear action plan to help your organisation reduce risk and get holiday pay right.
This event is ideal for:
If you're responsible for HR, payroll or employment law compliance, this event will give you the practical guidance you need to assess your current approach, understand your organisation's potential exposure and make informed decisions with confidence.
