Frequently Asked Questions



I still get email enquiries every day asking if there is a connection is between equal pay and Holiday BackPay Claims.

The straight answer is No, not a direct connection at least, because equal pay is all about gender differences - the difference in pay between male and female jobs.

Whereas Holiday BackPay Claims is solely about whether workers, male and female, received their normal pay during periods of annual leave, going back several years potentially.

So workers in the public sector who regularly receive 'additions' to pay such as overtime or shift payments may well have a claim and this is true across the public and private sectors.

In Scottish councils, for example, this could apply to lots of traditional male jobs who never had a claim in respect of equal pay - refuse workers, gardeners and suchlike - jobs which have often attracted overtime and shift work.

But Holiday BackPay Claims are also likely to apply to many female dominated jobs such as Home Carers who nowadays work additional hours and weekend or split shifts.

Likewise in the private sector, where a big employer like TESCO which has thousands of employees spread across lots of different workplaces, 24 hour supermarkets and out-of-town distribution centres, is well worth investigating for example.      
  

Simple HBPC Test (12 September 2014)


Here's a simple test to help discover if you have a holiday backpay claim.
  1. Take your entire wages for 3 months without holiday pay and divide by 3 to give you your average pay for those 3 months.
  2. Then compare this average pay with your pay in the month you were on paid leave. 
  3. If your holiday pay is less than your average pay, then it is less then it is highly likely you have a claim. 
If in doubt make a claim. 
If you don’t make a claim you won’t get paid anything - as many people found out to their cost over equal pay. 
If you the sums don't work out for you, then pass the word on to your friends, family members and colleagues as they may have a claim, especially if they work shifts or regular overtime. 
If you would like a claim form please visit http://www.holidaybackpayclaims.co.uk and fill in the ‘New Claim Pack’ request form.
