Holiday Pay Act 1938
The Holiday Pay Act 1938 was legislation of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which provided for paid holidays for working class employees,[1] and was the result of a twenty-year campaign.[2] The Act was revoked by the Statute Laws Repeals Act 2004 see Schedule 1 Part 8 - Employment[3] It led to the popularity of holiday camps such as those run by Butlins[4]
The provisions of the Act have largely been replaced by the European Working Time Directive enacted by Statutory Instrument SI1998|1833 - Working Time Regulations 1998
