The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is aware of the Employment Appeal Tribunal ruling and we are committed to ensuring fair and legally compliant statutory holiday payments. We are reviewing our policy and procedures to ensure that we are compliant with the ruling and expect the impact to be minimal, given there is minimal use of regular overtime within the department that is not remunerated through role specific allowances.
