Employment agreements

The annual holiday provisions in the Holidays Act 2003 apply even if the employment agreement is silent on the subject of holidays.

The Holidays Act 2003 makes clear that each component of holiday arrangements must be at least as favourable to the employee as the entitlements specified in the Act. However, the law does not prevent the employer providing the employee with entitlements over and above those provided by the Act.
