Holiday pay compliance and enforcement

The Fair Work Agency will have new powers to proactively enforce holiday pay rights without an employee taking their employer to tribunal. This consultation explores:

• the proposed approach to holiday pay compliance and enforcement
• some of the important design features
• what support and guidance the Fair Work Agency can provide to help support compliance

This issue is key for homecare, where holiday pay calculations for workers on variable hours can be complex.

The consultation is open until 22 September 2026.
