Facts
The Appellant bears responsibility for the running of a school, while the Respondent was and remains a visiting music teacher. She is engaged on a zero-hours contract to work during term times and does not work full-time or for the whole year. She receives holiday period at three times during the school year.In 2011, the Appellant altered the manner in which it calculated the amount of this holiday pay, with a result less favourable to the Respondent. The Respondent brought proceedings in 2015 before the Employment Tribunal, which decided against her on this issue, and then appealed to the Employment Appeals Tribunal, where she was successful.
