CIPP Payroll: need to know 2018-2019

Pimlico Plumbers – too late to claim for holiday pay 25 March 2019

The long running legal saga otherwise referred to as Pimlico Plumbers may have come to an end, for now at least, back where it began at the Employment Tribunal.

A journey that has seen Gary Smith and Pimlico Plumbers go all the way to the Supreme Court to establish and uphold worker status and thus the right to for Smith to be paid holiday leave has now received an employment tribunal ruling that confirms that the claim of £74,000 for unpaid holiday fails because it falls outside of the three month rule for claiming.

Pimlico Plumbers had admitted to the claim of unlawful deductions to the value of £336 but denied the payment for holiday pay was due.

Gary Smith is reported to be appealing this ruling.
