why are people on this forum cruel?

Re the holiday situation, some companies state that no holidays are accrued whilst off sick, you will start accruing again on your return to work.

Sorry but I cannot help you inregards to the rest but I can only think that you should voice your worries/requests to someone appropriate at your place of work, they will tell you if that is possible or not as skillsets may or may not overlap in different areas of the business.

Good luck.

Companies cannot state you do not accrue holiday whilst off sick, this is against thr law. Holiday is accrued whilst on sick leave.

You can appeal the decision to your grievance and go through it again. This time a senior manager will have to conduct the grievance or the MD, someone who has not heard it he first time round!

If the decision is the same then if you left you could claim constructive dismissal at a tribunal if you felt necessary.

Neither Jomo or Mudd are quite correct about holidays.

Your statutory holiday still accrues (28 days per year if full time) whilst off sick. This is protected by law. Your firm may have rules that prevent any additional holiday accruing. My previous employer had such a rule but only after so many months sick leave.

It's 28 days isn't it?

Yes, typo sorry! Now edited Thanks.

Sorry my mistake, upon reading again it does state once your holiday entitlement has been used up you are unable to accrue more holidays.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Appeal the grievance again and make sure you ask for another independent manager to hear it.
You holiday accrues through the year is 20 days of 4 weeks x 5 working days a year. This is the minimum.
Dont assume their is a vacancy they cannot create one for you.

As stated above the statutory minimum holiday is 28 days. This is often thought of as 20 days (four weeks) plus the eight bank holidays but doesn't have to be as in some jobs you may have to work bank holidays and have the time off on other days.

Hi there,

I have been looking at this site for a long time and have read the threads on many occassions, but have never written replies to threads. However, I am with you on this.

I am in exactly the same situation. I have been bullied by a female partner in a large company. I have raised a grievance but I am too ill to attend at the moment. I have been off sick with depression since the end of July. Today I received a letter from my company asking me to re-set a date for a greivance hearing (I delayed the last as my doctor says I am too ill to attend). I am still shaking just from a letter. I do not know if I will ever be well enough to face attending a greivance hearing, but I have been told I have a good case and I should fight it.

My advice to you would be to get in touch with ACAS - They have a website where you can get a telephone number from. They will advice you about appealing. You may have a case for constructive dismissal. Try and get some legal advice - no win no fee on employment law. I am currently waiting for a Solicitor to call me now, to see where I stand.

I really sympathise with you as I know how you feel. I have been tempted to hand in my notice, just to try and get this out of my life and move on, but I know I really should try to put a stop to this, before she does this to someone else.

Don't give up - Good luck.
