HR & Employment law update: webinar slides and recordings
Our Employment Solicitors, Joanna Smye and Claire Berry hosted a fantastic HR & Employment law update webinar regarding the current legal landscape and its impacts on best HR practice.
Many self-employed people will receive a grant through the new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) this month. These payments can be up to £7,500 and will be counted as earnings under Universal Credit.
As a result, lots of self-employed households will be affected by the complex 'surplus earnings' rules for the first time. In short, these rules mean that for many households, the SEISS money will be taken into account as earnings not just for the month it was received, but for future months as well.
Welfare advisors need to understand the rules, and need a tool that can calculate eligibility all in one place, in order to advise people what their Universal Credit payments will be, and when they need to reclaim.
Hear from Sue McCarron from Citizens Advice Wirral who shared how frontline staff have supported customers facing with fluctuating income using the Benefit and Budgeting Calculator.
Review the slide to learn:
- A simple guide to the SEISS, Universal Credit and surplus earnings rules
- Worked examples to illustrate the challenge, and what to look out for
- How our Benefit and Budgeting Calculator helps
Recorded on June 13, 2013. - This webinar, intended for community workers, presents options for workers who have been fired or laid off. It looks at when an employer can fire an employee, what a worker can do if they are wrongfully dismissed, and what the Courts or the Ministry of Labour look for when dealing with dismissal cases.

HR & Employment law webinar - What happens when an employee cannot do their jobFelixPerez547899
“Capability” is one of the 5 potentially fair reasons for dismissing an employee, and applies to both poor performance and ill-health. However, managing employees who are unable to do all or part of their job effectively is rarely straightforward. Terminating employment without following key steps could lead to a Tribunal claim where the dismissal is found to be unfair and, depending on the circumstances, discriminatory.
Our Employment Solicitors, Claire Berry and Joanna Smye, go through the law and practice of managing capability, up to and including termination of employment. We cover:
- Performance management, including when there is an underlying health problem and
- Absence management, for both intermittent and long-term absence from work.
Income and volunteering challenges in the charity sector in 2023 PP.pdfFelixPerez547899
Price Bailey partnered with The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) for a webinar that provided invaluable information on the trends in income and volunteering in the charity sector and the challenges that charities face in 2023 as a result.
As charities look to generate income and grow or maintain their volunteers to try and keep costs down, it is important to understand the wider economic climate and trends in this regard to inform your strategic thinking.
This session considered the role of leadership in managing organisations and delivering on a strategy which may need revision and change. In times of crisis, it is strong and effective leadership that solves the challenges facing their organisations. Effective communication throughout the organisation with the right ‘tone from the top’ helps build a strong culture, empower the team and bring about effective change. It is more important than ever that you have the right governance processes and structures in place. We will challenge you to look at your organisation and assess your strengths and weaknesses and how you may need to change.
This session looked at the critical risks facing charities in 2023, from decreasing income to increasing costs and the ways that charities should be managing these risks for effective decision making. Should you be spending reserves? How can you budget forecast and make informed decisions in such challenging times? What other imminent changes in the legislation, the sector and government need to be factored into this planning? And what support is out there for charities to tap into?

HOLIDAY
The Supreme Court’s decision on
calculating holiday pay for part-
year workers
Harpur Trust v Brazel. An employer was wrong to
calculate holiday pay based on the 12.07% method,
which is commonly used for zero hours workers
Background
The WTR (Working Time Regulations) entitlement is 5.6 weeks
every year
Pro-rating this entitlement for part-time employees who have
the same working hours each week is fairly straightforward
For workers who have no normal working hours, many
employers have calculated holiday pay as being 12.07% of the
relevant hourly rate for every hour worked.
9. Page 9
A year is 52 weeks. Subtracting 5.6 weeks’ holiday leaves 46.4
working weeks in the year.
5.6 is 12.07% of 46.4, so this figure represents holiday expressed
as a percentage of working time.
This approach is not in
the WTR, but accords
with earlier
government guidance,
which has since been
deleted.
Why was the 12.07% method used?
10. Page 10
Facts of the case (Harpur Trust v Brazel)
Mrs Brazel was a visiting music teacher who worked at a school under a zero hours term-
time contract. Her hours varied and she was paid in arrears at the end of each month for
hours worked.
Mrs Brazel was entitled to 5.6 weeks paid holiday a year, which she took during normal
school holidays. A payment for accrued holiday was paid three times a year, and calculated
at 12.07% of her hourly rate for the hours she had worked that term.
Mrs Brazel argued that her holiday should be calculated on her average weekly pay for the
last 12 weeks of each term (the reference period at that time), and that this should have
been the amount received for each week of paid holiday. On this basis she had been
underpaid by £1,360.72 between 2011 and 2016.
The first instance Tribunal case went against Mrs Brazel, but this ruling as overturned by the
EAT. The Trust appealed unsuccessfully to the Court of Appeal, and then to the Supreme
Court.
11. Page 11
12.07% method Mrs Brazel’s method
Holiday pay is calculated as a percentage of total
hours worked.
This method assumes that the worker does not
accrue holiday during non-working time.
Statutory holiday entitlement for workers is 5.6
weeks per year.
For each week of holiday, a worker is entitled to a
week’s pay.
For workers who have variable hours, there is a
specific way to calculate a week’s pay (under the
ERA).
12. Page 12
Example
calculations
Worked calculation based on 12.07% method
Jane is paid £10 an hour, on a zero hours contract, and is entitled to the
statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks’ holiday.
She started work on 1 January, the start of the holiday year. During that
first year she got work during 30 weeks, but did no work at all in the other
22 weeks.
The total number of hours Jane worked in those 30 weeks was 300 hours,
and so her total pay for that year was £3,000. She is given 12.07% of
£3,000, which totals £362.10.
Worked calculation based on Brazel decision
Jane’s average weekly pay is worked out on the basis of a 52 week
reference period, discounting weeks when no work is done.
Her average weekly pay during her first year is therefore £100. Her
holiday entitlement is therefore £100 x 5.6 weeks = £560.
13. Page 13
What did the Supreme Court decide?
The WTR were clear: a worker on a permanent contract, engaged for the whole year, has an entitlement to
5.6 weeks holiday and to be paid a week’s pay for each week of holiday, calculated under the formula in the
ERA (now a 52 week reference period, disregarding weeks when no work is done).
The fact that this meant that Ms Brazel’s holiday pay worked out as 17.5% of her working pay, rather than
12.07%, was unfortunate for the school but this was the result of applying the wording of the legislation.
There was no reason under the WTR not to allow a part-time worker to be treated more generously.
For every week a worker remains under contract, they accrue 0.11 (ie 5.6/52) of a week’s leave under the
WTR, even if no work is done. However, according to the 12.07% rule they would accrue no leave if no work
had been done. That means that for workers who have long periods of not working, but they remain under
contract during this time, the less accurate the 12.07% method becomes.
14. Page 14
Key points to
take away from
this case
Impact of this case is on workers who do not have predictable hours.
Even though holiday accrues at 5.6 weeks per year for everyone, a part-
year worker with fixed/predictable hours normally has annualised pay
and so holiday pay for each week is easy to calculate
Types of workers impacted are likely to be those working in sectors with
seasonal variations, like hospitality; or in schools, colleges and
academies where someone’s hours vary according to demand
If you have used 12.07% method for part year workers, our advice is to
conduct an internal audit to assess potential liability
Provided that under-payment of holiday is rectified going forward, then
after the limitation period has passed, employees will be time-barred
from making claims for historic underpayment of holiday pay – 2 years
Consider fixed term contracts? Implications?

Loan waivers and
claiming gift aid
Text in paras 3.13 and 3.45 is
updated and much clearer
https://www.gov.uk/government/
publications/charities-detailed-
guidance-notes/chapter-3-gift-aid
Loan repayment waiver - HMRC would
expect there to be a legally enforceable
document in place – i.e. a deed
HMRC published guidance in May 2021
confirming that Gift Aid can be claimed on
Waived Refunds and Loan Repayments
Gift aid claimable provided agreement to
waive the loan/right to a refund is clear and
irrevocable
Hence reason for needing a paperwork trail.
Examples of this for waived refunds could
include:
email exchange
letter out to the taxpayer and their response
recorded telephone call

Major donors and
buildings
3.19.8
https://www.gov.uk/government/
publications/charities-detailed-
guidance-notes/chapter-3-gift-aid
Policy updated
Sometimes charities may want to name a
building or part thereof after an individual
donor who’s provided a substantial
donation to the charity
Therefore avoid ‘naming rights’ contracts
Allow charity to acknowledge donation
……. as long as the naming does not act as
an advertisement or sponsorship for a
business, then naming of building or part
after individual donor would not be
considered a benefit

Revenue and
Customs Brief 10
(2022): VAT —
business and non-
business activities
Issued in Jun 22
https://www.gov.uk/g
overnment/publicatio
ns/revenue-and-
customs-brief-10-
2022-vat-business-
and-non-business-
activities
Recent court cases have provided further
clarification on how to determine whether or
not an activity is a business activity
In determining this, there should be no
reliance on an organisation’s overall objective
or profit motive
Now Two stage test
Test 1: The activity results in a supply of
goods or services for consideration
(If not, then not a business activity)
Test 2: The supply is made for the purpose of
obtaining income therefrom (remuneration)
(If not, then not a business activity)
24. Page 24
Page 24
Concept of business is central to
the operation of UK VAT system
Consideration – Test 1
Case law - business test
must be applied to each
activity separately. While
intention of generating
income is a component
of the test, that is not
the same as the
intention to generate a
profit. A supply can still
be a business activity if
it is intended that the
income will be lower
than the cost
Previous page
Next page
Goods or services are not
provided for consideration:
• provided for free
• payment is made but not
consideration – eg
parking fine
• there is no link between
supply and payment
received (see
VATSC05100)
• Money is freely given as
donation
Other Non business
activity:
The activity is
otherwise outside the
scope of VAT, for
example many
statutory functions
undertaken by public
bodies
An activity will fall within the scope
of VAT when all the conditions listed
in sections 4(1) and 5(2) of VAT Act
1994 are met:
• it is done for consideration
• it is a supply of goods or services
• supply is made in the UK
• it is made by a taxable person
• it is made in the course or
furtherance of any business
carried on or to be carried on by
that person
If a grant is given for a
particular purpose and
person providing it, or
other persons specified by
them, receive the benefit,
then the grant may be
consideration. E.g.
research grant - beneficial
results will become
property of person
providing grant - grant is
consideration for provision
of research services
25. Page 25

“carried out for the purpose of
obtaining income”
It is also objective test, i.e. it must
be determined from the outside
observer’s standpoint, and not
based on subjective views of charity
Remuneration – Test 2
Is a purpose of the
consideration to create
income?
Is there an
intention to make
a profit? Is the payment so low
as to be a concession?
Consider whether activity is pursued with recognisable
continuity and level of seriousness, preparations and
investment made to promote the activity. So a business activity:
• will normally involve book and record keeping plus annual
accounting and audit reports
• is likely to be advertised or publicised to attract customers
• is less likely to be done for pleasure as would a hobby or
pastime
• is less likely to be an isolated transaction or a one off
Is the activity
conducted based on
sound business
principles?
What is the scale of
the activity?

HMRC Notices
updated
VAT Notice 701/1
VAT Notice 701/58
701/1: Business test section (Section 4) changed to two stage
test policy with above

free”, “What the term ‘the public’ covers”, “Information on
the internet” and “Relief on the design or production of an
advertisement” have been updated
Placing of advertisement by a charity in someone else’s media
can usually qualify for zero rating. Different rules apply for
digital and social media advertising
Advertising covering any subject, including staff recruitment,
in a third-party medium can qualify for zero rating, including
advertisements on television, cinema, billboards, buses, in
newspapers, programmes, annuals, leaflets and other
publications, and on Internet sites. Marketing and advertising
of items to targeted individuals or groups are excluded from
zero rate relief.

TZF carried out uncharged activities but these were
intended to lead to fee earning work
Tribunal agreed tests for which charges were made
would never have happened if not for the initial
tests provided for free. Those initial tests therefore
part of the business model to generates taxable
income
HMRC tried to disallow the input tax on ‘free’
activity, but Tribunal allowed on appeal
