Holidays Act remediation
Holidays Act back payment
Public Trust has identified payroll issues that mean some of our current and former employees have had their leave payments calculated incorrectly.
The issues are due to challenges with the application of the Holidays Act 2003 and relate to an incorrect calculation of average weekly earnings and leave on termination.
Public Trust can confirm a thorough investigation of these issues has been undertaken using a third-party payroll specialist. We have identified the affected employees and have completed necessary calculations. As a result, some current and former employees have been underpaid and are eligible for a back payment.

Public Trust is writing to all affected employees using their last known contact details, who are identified in the Public Trust records as meeting the following criteria:
