Holiday pay should include commission — Lock v British Gas Trading Ltd [C-539/12]
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has handed down an important decision that affects the calculation of holiday pay for workers whose pay includes an element of commission. In a nutshell, it found that a worker’s holiday pay must include an amount calculated to reflect the amount of commission the employee will lose out on in the future as a result of taking leave. This decision will significantly affect those sectors where pay arrangements include commission structures, in particular those who employ workers on set working hours and who pay a basic salary plus commission.
