Katie Clark is featured in a March 24 question-and-answer session by Personnel Today, concerning the UK's statutory holiday entitlement. The Working Time Regulations (WTR) give employees in the UK a statutory right to take a minimum of 24 days in annual paid leave, and that increases to 28 days effective April 1. "There is no legal obligation on an employer to insist that workers take their statutory holiday entitlement," Ms Clark says. "The obligation is to allow a worker to take holiday if he or she wishes to. There are, however, motivational and health and safety reasons for an employer to encourage annual holiday to be taken."

Katie Clark was quoted in the February 1 issue of Personnel Today regarding the case of Lionel Leventhal Ltd. v. North and the warning going out to employers to keep a paper trail during redundancy procedures as well as considering the issue of 'bumping'. "The ruling is saying when an employer makes redundancies it should consider bumping. Employers need to ensure there is a paper trail so they are protected. The employer shouldn't just assume that a senior employee won't accept a junior position." Ms. Clark emphasizes, "That is when the unfairness arises. The message to employers is not to make any assumptions."
