Ep 12 - Temporary workers and holiday pay - Advice on working with umbrella companies

Guest speaker: • Julia Kermode, Founder, IWORK Temporary workers are the backbone of the economy; yet they are at risk of exploitation. There has been some bad press recently in relation to umbrella companies who haven't been paying workers the holiday that has been accrued, and discussions on the legalities of holiday pay accruing in the first place. In this episode, Julia Kermode of IWORK talks to Neil about the importance of recruitment agencies conducting due diligence compliance checks on umbrella companies, impact of reputation damage, and most importantly the potential negative impact on the value of businesses. Check out our Holiday Pay Calculator which is designed to help you calculate holiday pay for temporary workers whose holiday entitlement is not calculated on the same basis as an employee.
