Unison just won a major legal victory for care workers:
The Court of Justice of the European Union, in what has been called the Lock case, has ruled that a worker’s statutory annual leave pay should include commission payments if these routinely make up part of their pay.
Unison says the judgment has important implications for all workers whose pay includes supplements, such as commission and bonuses.
It will have a particular impact on those doing shift work, sleepovers or overtime in the care sector, or support staff working in residential care.
The court ruling means that routinely earned extra money should be included when calculating holiday pay.
