The latest guidance from BEIS, published 13 May, confirms how holiday entitlement and holiday pay is to work during the Coronavirus pandemic.

It will have more impact in relation to the Furlough Scheme, where clearly employers are entitled to expect that HMRC will respect guidance put out by BEIS.
