Holidays with Pay Act 1938

2 Holiday remuneration.

(1) Where a wage regulating authority in exercise of the powers conferred by this Act direct that any workers shall be entitled to be allowed holidays, the authority shall make provision for securing that the workers shall receive pay in respect of the period of the holiday, and, without prejudice to any other power of a wage regulating authority in that behalf, the power of any Trade Board or Agricultural Wages Committee to fix minimum rates of wages for any workers shall include power to fix separate minimum rates of wages to be paid to those workers by way of pay in respect of such holidays and, subject to the provisions of any regulations made under this Act, references in the Trade Boards Acts, 1909 and 1918, the Agricultural Wages (Regulation) Act, 1924, and the Agricultural Wages (Regulation) (Scotland) Act, 1937, respectively, to minimum rates of wages shall be construed accordingly.

(2) Any holiday remuneration (whether fixed as aforesaid or fixed by the Road Haulage Central Wages Board) shall accrue, and shall become payable, respectively, at such times and subject to such conditions as may be directed by the wage regulating authority, and, notwithstanding the provisions of this Act requiring that holiday remuneration shall be payable in respect of the period of the holiday which a worker is entitled to be allowed thereunder, such directions may make provision for securing that any holiday remuneration which has accrued due to a worker during his employment by any employer shall, in the event of his ceasing to be employed by that employer before he becomes entitled to be allowed a holiday by him, nevertheless become payable by the employer to the worker.
