Masterclass
The recent changes in relation to the law governing holiday pay are now in force. They represent the most significant statutory development of holiday pay law for over 20 years and are likely to have a material impact on how holiday is dealt with within the Film and TV industry. This online masterclass, presented by Wiggin’s head of employment law, will provide an overview of the new regulations and what they mean for UK productions. If you have any queries in this area, this is not a session to miss.
