For holiday years beginning on or after 1st April 2024, their holiday rights will no longer come from Regulation 13 and Regulation 13A Working Time Regulations 1998 as with all other workers. Their rights will be set out in Regulation 15B Working Time Regulations 1998.
Agency workers are different from employees and workers. They have a contract with an agency. The agency provides their services to a hirer. Typically, there is no direct relationship between the agency worker and the hirer.

This rate increase impacts statutory maternity pay, shared parental leave pay, adoption pay, paternity pay and parental bereavement pay.
The Government has announced the proposed annual increase in compensation limits for certain tribunal awards and other statutory payments. The changes, which take effect from 6th April 2024, include:
