Overview

This course is aimed at practitioners who need to understand both the legal requirements and the daily practicalities of handling holiday pay and leave consistently and fairly

Description

This practical course includes an overview of the legal framework that governs holiday pay and entitlement, as well as worked exercises to explore the calculations thoroughly.

It takes a scenario-based approach to examine tricky situations such as part-time worker’s entitlement to bank holidays, entitlement changes during the leave year, and entitlement accrual during absence for other reasons.

And because ongoing case law in this area means constant changes, the course includes future changes to be aware of.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
