Holidays with Pay and Benefits Schemes

The Building and Civil Engineering benefits scheme has unveiled a new holiday pay plan following the introduction of the Working Time Directive. From 2August 1999 there are no fixed holiday credits, instead employers will calculate appropriate sums to fund operatives’ holiday pay entitlement and make regular monthly payments into the B&CE scheme.
