Once you have legislated to declare black is white in order to deny people fundamental human rights you have crossed a Rubicon. We live in a very, very different country today.

The Supreme Court has issued a significant judgment on #holidaypay, confirming that a gap of 3 months or more between a series of deductions will no longer defeat a claim for unlawful deduction from wages. @aliceyandle @amycbwren explain the implications: https://t.co/b9E5uSOXlM

[Amy Wren @amycbwren]

Significant @UKSupremeCourt decision: a gap of 3 months or more between a series of deductions will no longer defeat claims. This has particular implications for backdated holiday claims (though in GB a series for holiday claims is still is limited by statute to two years).

[UK Supreme Court @UKSupremeCourt]

Judgment has been handed down today in the matter of Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and another (Appellants/Cross-Respondents) v Agnew and others (Respondents/Cross-Appellants) (Northern Ireland) (UKSC 2019/0204) https://t.co/6BHtit9Uu4

A couple of days ago the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill went through its final legislative stages. It now awaits Royal Assent. Whilst welcome, it is important to understand its limits, as there appears to be a lot of excitement about it doing things it doesn't do.

[Amy Wren @amycbwren]
