<p>All workers, including workers on zero-hour contracts are entitled to receive paid
annual leave.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017, the Unpaid Britain report found that 1.8 million
workers are missing out on £1.8 billion each year, in unpaid holiday leave.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government wants to ensure that all workers, regardless of the hours they
work, receive the paid time off they deserve. This is why the Government recently
ran the ‘It comes with the job’ advertising campaign encouraging workers to understand
their rights and employers to understand their legal obligations. Government has also
developed new guidance, available on GOV.UK, to help workers and employers understand
holiday pay policy and entitlement. Both the campaign, and the guidance were aimed
at atypical workers, which includes workers on zero hours contracts. To aid those
at risk of not receiving their holiday entitlement, the Government has also committed
to introducing state enforcement of holiday pay for vulnerable workers.</p>
