• Hertel (UK) Ltd v Woods [2014] UKEAT 0047_13_0411 (UKEATS/0047/13/BI; UKEAT/0160/14/SM; UKEAT/0161/14/SM), [2015] ICR 221, [2015] IRLR 15, Employment Appeal Tribunal, 4 November 2014 [judgment]
  The Honourable Mr Justice Langstaff (President), sitting alone

  Holiday pay; Working Time Regulations 1998; non-guaranteed overtime. A conjoined appeal heard with Bear Scotland Ltd v Fulton and AMEC Group Ltd v Law; see the Bear Scotland entry for the ratio. Article 7 of the Working Time Directive requires normal remuneration to include payments for overtime the worker is required to work although the employer is not obliged to offer it. Earlier entries in this dictionary wrongly recorded this as a pregnancy or maternity case.

  Maternity; redundancy; a woman on maternity leave has priority for suitable alternative vacancies (Reg 10).
