About this episode

This episode discusses the legal rights of UK workers regarding holiday entitlement and how to address non-compliance by employers.

Think holiday entitlement is just a workplace perk? Think again. Millions of UK workers lose paid leave every year simply because they don’t know their rights. In this eye-opening episode of Get Legally Speaking, Hatti is joined by employment law specialist Lisa Hatch to reveal what the law really says about your annual leave, in clear, straight-talking English.
