'Rolled up' holiday is when you take the contracted holiday as a cash sum instead of taking the holiday.
I am not sure that this judgement is correct. My understanding is that the European Court have made the decision based upon the Working Time Directive and it is not within the power of British courts (Scottish, Irish or English) to direct otherwise. It would be useful Tillet if you could actually post a reference to the conclusion of the judgement rather than the case to which it refers. I can't find anything on the EU page about a judgement being made by the ECJ..
Rolled-up holiday pay is bad news all round and ful of contradictions....such as the one quoted above where employers are urged to encourage employees to take their due holiday at the same time as as 'denying' the right through the use of Rolled-up holiday....

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
