A new body will follow on from an extension of the holiday pay reference period from 12 to 52 weeks last December. Business Secretary Greg Clark has launched a consultation for a new Single Labour Market Enforcement body that will create an organisation that people can go to for help if their boss is breaking the rules. This will include cases where employers aren't paying the minimum wage or allowing them to take their holiday pay allowance.
