Holiday pay when working on commission

[HTP99]

Does anyone in the know, know any more about the recent European ruling on an employee; when a large chunk of their income is commission based, being paid commission still when taking their holiday entitlement and also back payments for up to 16 years; when the Working Time Directive came into force in 1998?

The reports that I have read seem to indicate that it will happen but no indication as to when and what the final outcome will be.

Thanks in advance.

Does this follow on from the stuff about regular variable pay having ti be taken into account when on leave / sick / suspended ?

I think so, it definately is saying that regular overtime should be also taken in to account when paying holiday pay; there is currently an appeal being heard regarding that element, by the sounds of things once the outcome of the appeal is announced then things will start to happen.

It has already happened.

So what do I and my colleagues do now and am I correct in understanding that I am entitled to a number of years of back pay too?
