Employees have lost out on holiday pay worth £2bn, according to new trade union research

Workers across Britain have lost out on holiday pay worth £2bn, with more than a million people going without a single day of paid time off, according to new research.

With unions gathering in Brighton this weekend for the first TUC conference under a Labour administration for 15 years, the body revealed new research showing the extent to which workers are being denied holiday pay. Workers are entitled to 28 days paid leave for a typical five-day week.

The research, conducted before the government’s pledge for a generational improvement in workers’ rights, found that 1.1 million employees – about one in 25 – did not get a single one of those days. It said that black and minority ethnic staff were disproportionately hit. Low-paid workers were most at risk of losing out on paid holiday. The roles with the highest numbers of staff losing out were waiters and waitresses, care workers and home carers and catering assistants.
