Redundancy - Holiday Pay Query

Prairie_Rose

Hi everyone,

just been told this morning that I am being made redundant with one month's notice, it hasn't come as a big surprise. I know what redundancy payment I am due and I know that I should also be due 4 days holiday pay (our leave year starts in January and our entitlement is 2 days per month and I haven't taken any this year). My question is.... I carried over 2 days leave from last year, am I entitled to receive payment for these also or is it at the discretion of the company? I know it might seem a bit petty but this money is going to have to last me until I get another job so every bit counts!

Many thanks,

Prairie Rose

Depends on what was agreed when it was carried over, and what your contract says. I'd expect to be taking these rather than be paid for them though.

Do make sure from you contract you do accrue holidays in the current year, not the previous one, just in case.

Thanks for your reply Lorian, I suspect you are right about the 2 days carried over but just thought I would ask. I am pretty sure we accrue holidays as we go along but will double check what my contract says.

Regards,
