Employment Law
Employees should be aware that unless there is an express term to the contrary in their flexi hours scheme or contract of employment, they will not be entitled to payment for extra hours worked they are yet to take off in lieu, upon termination of their employment.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal recently ruled that it is not correct or necessary to imply a term that an employee should be entitled to payment for such accrued hours they have not taken off, where the flexi-scheme or contract of employment does not contain such a term.
