Working time Act and Average Commission payments for holidays

ltdslipdiff

Finding it very hard to get a straight answer from anyone on this. Basically worked in a Sales role on a minimal basic and so reliant on selling to bump up the wages via commission. So apparently since 1997 the Working time Act stipulated that during paid leave that the employee should also have their wages topped up by the average commission they would have earned had they been working. The previous 13 weeks were taken to calculate the figure. I never received this top up,and presently in a similar role albeit with a different firm I do get this top up when taking time off. Would I be within my rights to seek past payments from my previous employer based on 10 years service? Obviously the sum would be pretty sizeable if not governed by a statute of limitations. Any advice or pointers greatly appreciated!

Claim soon, as their is likely to be a time limit on such claims.

At a guess maybe a solicitor. If it is as you say a sizable sum, any solicitor would be willing to act.

Try NERA they should be able to tell you what you need too know.
