Lock v British Gas

It’s been a long time coming. But we have the final word on one particular aspect of holiday pay calculations: holiday pay should include the results-based commission that a worker would ordinarily earn.

We can now say that with certainty (at least until something changes) because British Gas has been refused permission to appeal that decision reached by the Court of Appeal last year. It means that workers who earn commission should now not miss out when they take annual leave.

It remains to be seen what effect Brexit might have on this.
