Leisure Leagues UK Ltd v Maconnachie: EAT 14 Mar 2002

When calculating the entitlement to holiday pay the apportionment had to be made on the number of working days in a year, not on the number of days in a year. The regulations required this interpretation rather than that under the Act. A consequence of using the full year might well be to apply an effective rate lower than the minimum wage rate.
