Contractual holiday rights
[ch 4: page 140]Some workers have contractual rights to more than the 5.6 weeks of holiday entitlement under the WTR. The rules governing this extra (contractual) holiday will depend on the contract of employment.
An employee is only entitled to be paid for unused contractual holiday if the contract says so. Normally, there is an express contractual term, but the ET may imply a term (Janes Solicitors v Lamb Simpson EAT/323/94). See Chapter 3: Implied terms.
