Reports, and comments upon, "Caulfield v Hanson Clay Products" ([2006] ECJ First Chamber, LTLEU 16/3/2006) where the European Court of Justice decided that awarding rolled-up holiday pay to workers in lieu of paid leave was unlawful under the Working Time Directive. This practice, which involves adding pay for annual leave to a worker's hourly or daily rate instead of paying it for the period of leave taken, has been particularly prevalent in the construction industry because of irregular working patterns and short-term contracts. As a result of the decision rolling-up of holiday pay will have to cease, and workers will have to be paid in respect of specific periods of leave.
