Temporary Workers Left High and Dry: Have You Been Shortchanged on Holiday Pay?

A shocking case has emerged in which warehouse staff employed by a temporary recruitment agency were left thousands of pounds worse off due to incorrect holiday pay arrangements. The agency, which supplies workers to high-profile businesses like Harrods, failed to award the employees the correct amount of paid leave.

Now we want to hear from you - have you received less holiday pay than you are entitled to? If so, we want to know your story. Temporary workers supplied to major UK companies may be at risk of being underpaid on their annual leave, and it's high time someone spoke out about this systemic issue.

We're calling on all affected temporary workers to come forward and share their experiences with us. Have you been shortchanged on your holiday pay? Were you not given the correct amount of paid leave or were your hours not accurately recorded?

If so, we want to hear from you. You can get in touch with our journalists by responding to the form below. We'll be in touch if we wish to take your submission further.

Don't let others suffer in silence - share your story and help us expose this shocking practice for what it is: a case of employers exploiting vulnerable temporary workers.

omg dont believe companies like harrods think they can just mess with ppl's hard earned holiday pay its unacceptable that these temp agencies are allowed to get away with this kinda thing...i feel so sorry for those warehouse staff who were left thousands worse off...its not right that ppl have to suffer in silence cuz some company wants to save a few quid we need more awareness about this issue and ppl coming forward to share their experiences

I'm livin' in uncertain times, fam . Temporary workers gettin' shafted on holiday pay? That's like, so not okay, you feel me? It's all about who's got the power and who don't, right? These companies think they can just screw over their temps and get away with it? Not on our watch, bro!

I'm thinkin' this is a classic case of systemic inequality. These temporary workers are already at a disadvantage, bein' paid less than permanent staff and lackin' basic rights. And now, they're gettin' screwed out of their holiday pay too? It's like, hello, basic human dignity!

We need to hold these companies accountable for their actions, fam. We can't just let 'em take advantage of vulnerable workers like this. We gotta stand up for what's right and fight for fair treatment. I'm callin' on all the affected temporary workers to come forward and share their stories. Let's expose this practice for what it is: exploitation!

I'm so annoyed when I hear about people getting screwed over by their employers, you know? Temporary workers are already taking on a lot more risk than permanent staff, and now they're being left high and dry because some agency messed up the holiday pay calculations? It's just not right. Those warehouse staff at Harrods should be having serious words with the agency and their bosses. I mean, who gets away with that kind of thing?

omg i feel so bad for these warehouse staff they gotta pay back all that money they lost it's like when we find out our parents have been underpaying their taxes because the school didn't do the right paperwork lol. anyway seriously though this is a huge issue and temp workers are always at risk of getting screwed over. i remember one time in my school's staff shortage, our cafeteria lady had to work like 3 shifts in a row without any pay break because there was no one else available anyway gotta give it up for these warehouse staff who spoke out against the agency

omg like i cant even right now i mean who does that to people?? its not cool at all... temporary workers are already struggling just to make ends meet, last thing they need is to be ripped off on their holiday pay... i feel so bad for them and im sure this isnt an isolated case either... theres gotta be ways to prevent this from happening in the future like whats the point of having laws if nobody enforces them? we gotta speak out against this and make some noise!

I'm literally livid about this one... it's just not right that people are being left with thousands of pounds less than they're owed, all because some company messed up on their holiday pay. Like, come on! You'd think a big company like Harrods would know better than to mess around with employee benefits. And what really gets me is that these workers aren't even entitled to decent working conditions or job security - just the bare minimum of paid leave. It's like they're disposable, you know?

I've seen this happen to me & friends . Temporary jobs can be super confusing, especially when it comes to holiday pay. Like, who sets the rules, right? I remember my cousin worked at a warehouse like that & she was left with £500 less than she should've had. It's just not fair! Can't believe some companies don't care about their temps' rights

I went to my HR rep once & they gave me the runaround . Said I needed to contact my agency, but I knew that wouldn't be effective either . It's like, employers think we're invisible or something Has anyone else dealt with this? Share your story, maybe we can get some change

I'm so not surprised by this temporary worker issue . It's like something straight outta The Social Network – remember when Mark Zuckerberg's employees were left unpaid over the holidays? Anyway, back to this – it's absolutely appalling that these warehouse staff are being shortchanged on their holiday pay . Employers gotta start taking responsibility for their actions and treating these temps with respect . I mean, can't we all just be like Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec and make sure everyone's getting a fair shot?
