On 20 July, the UK Supreme Court ruled that the method of calculating holiday pay for a contract teacher should be similar to that used for permanent employees. This ground-breaking decision could force companies to review the way they calculate holiday pay for all temporary employment contracts.

Until 2011, Ms Brazel had received an allowance equivalent to 5.6 weeks’ paid annual leave, the same number of days off as all UK employees.
