No, says the recruitment and employment law specialist Lawspeed, unless
the engagement contract agreed between agency and its worker normally
permits holiday to accrue in between assignments.

Adrian Marlowe, director of the law firm, said "most agency workers on
PAYE contracts provide that the worker is only paid whilst working and in
particular is not a 'worker' as such when not on assignment, namely
supplied to a hirer. As such once an assignment is ended any entitlement
to worker rights, such as accrual of holiday entitlement, cease
altogether.

"Furloughing under the government job retention scheme does not change
that position. By definition the agency worker is not working when
furloughed even if the intention is that the assignment may resume in due
course. This is the factual position. Accordingly unless the contract
allows for temporary lay off with payment and continuing rights in the
interim, agency workers have no entitlement to accrue holiday or to
receive holiday pay. Government guidance states that the legal position
under the engagement contract is the defining position.

"Accordingly care must be taken when furloughing not to change a 'no
rights in between assignment' position under the contract. The cost and
risk of mistakenly varying terms could include payment of an extra 12.07%
on top of the furlough payment, exposure to worker rights claims and a
misunderstanding of the legal position that may deter the agency from
taking up the furlough option in the first place.

"An agreement to furlough an agency worker is always needed however. This
should ideally be separate and avoid varying the original agency contract
given that payment under the furlough scheme is entirely different from
payment for work done."
