We will be sending details regarding Christmas Payroll Dates with your payroll reports soon. If you can fill these in and return them that would be much appreciated; it is only a box to tick. We are asking you to confirm your company payday for December, and giving the dates for payroll data submission. Christmas is a busy period and the last thing we want is anybody not paid when they should be.
The recent headlines regarding the employment tribunal and holiday pay, taking into account regular overtime payments, have caused some concern. We suspect things are not as desperate as at first presented, and it is reassuring that back dated claims appear limited to three months. There may be an appeal, the UK Government could legislate, and so it could be several years before a final position is reached.
