Thread: Not received holiday pay

Hi guys,

Wonder if you could shed some light on this matter.

My partner worked (quit two weeks ago) for a contract caterer. His working week was Mon-Fri (40 hours) and he worked an additional 12 hour shift at the weekend, for which he would receive time off in lieu.

From September 2008 to September 2009, he worked approx 23 additional days (12 hours per day). By our calculations and adding in his stat holiday pay, he should have received just over 13 weeks holiday. He received only 7.5 weeks holiday. A huge difference.

My question is, can we demand that they pay him for the hours that he worked? It was impossible for him to actually take any more time off, they never offered to pay him for the additional hours nor was he offered to role the holiday entitlement over.

I know it sounds a little complicated, but thought I would ask you guys first before contacting anyone else.

Many thanks
