Will the secondee be able to take holiday whilst on secondment?
The secondee will continue to be entitled to take holiday during the secondment, subject to the employer’s usual legal rights to specify when the secondee can or can not take holiday. The employer will continue to pay the secondee during holiday as usual. The employer would be expected to consult the host company before approving any holiday request made by the secondee. The host company will be expected to pay the employer only in respect of a pro rata amount of holiday taken by the secondee during the secondment. For example, if the secondee’s annual holiday entitlement is 20 days and the secondment is 6 months, it will be reasonable for the secondee to take 10 days during the secondment and for the host company to pay the employer in respect of this.
