giving notice and hol pay

brians_daughter

HI all! posting for my sister as she is still struggling to get online! Bloody BT lol

Anyway, she has been signed off sick from work, yes stress. But in all fairness its made her ill - shes lost 2 stone she could ill afford to loose and looks crap, but thats not why i am here.

Shes been off 2 weeks, but is/has been planning on handing her notice in. She only works p/t and cant take the pressue. luckily her hubby can support the family in the short term

Anyway, she has asked me the following and i am not sure so thought i would ask you for help

If she gives 30 days notice today and has 10 days holidays owing.... would she get her final pay in sept inc holiday pay or october?

ie would employer pay her her sept wage as normal then in oct she will get up to 10th oct plus hols? payday cut off is 20th

She is planning on going back in on monday and hoping they wont make her stay, but if they do she will obviously honour the notice period. typically in her workplace (sales) they want ppl out the door as soon as

Her hubby gets his annual bonus in october so its really timing thats the key here, thats the money that will keep them afloat for the next few months whilst she gets better

If the employer would want someone to not work their full notice period, they could say that the accrued holiday should be taken in the notice period rather than being paid in addition.

For ten days holiday they would need to give twenty days notice. If they do this, it looks to me as though they would not need to pay much holiday pay for holiday not taken before her notice expires.

How long has she worked for them? What is the notice period that is required according to her written particulars of employment?

Depends on company look at her contract!
Does she have 10 days owing still? if say she has 30 days a year but is only 6 months into her year (depending when she started) she would only be entitled to 15 days holiday!
previously when I have left I have had the holiday pay in my last pay packet on a few occasions but once had to wait till the following month- but this was due to confussion over amount owing so make sure she speaks to manager supervisor so everyone is in agreement as to what she is owed first!
