holiday pay question

[ben oseman]

i have been employed since the 8th of october. i called in sick today and im on holiday from then on till the 2nd of january. but im not going to be going back as i cant face my boss. if i dont go back will i still recieve holiday pay? i work a 3 day week of 16 hours. so the days i have holiday pay are for the 26th 28th and 29th. (tuesday wednesday, thursday) so if i dont tell her on the 2nd of january(which is when im due back from holiday) that i have no intention of coming back, do i still get paid my holiday money?

It is possible that the money will be deducted from you if they have the contractual right to do so as its unlikely you will have accrued enough holiday to cover the holiday period. Check your contract to see what it says!

i was only meant to be having 3 days holiday. surely in two and a half months i would have been there long enough to incur them

According to Business Link, using the information you have provided:

 

Based on the information provided, the worker is entitled to 4.0 days' annual leave for the year starting 8 October 2011. That's assuming a leave date of 2nd Jan 2012

thanks, thats a relief. now the next hurdle is actually getting the money from the [edit] person

Hi

 

By my calculation you're entitled to approximately 20 hours for the leave year to date. Have you taken any annual leave since you started?

 

Either way, it's possible you still don't have enough leave to cover the Christmas period. It depends when your shifts fall.
