Forced to take holiday while on Garden Leave
Comments

Sorry yes I misconstrued your 14 days as two weeks, when it is obviously nearer 3.
But they can give the notice before the start of the garden leave - what are the relevant dates?0 -
I resigned on September 12th (3 months notice period) and finish today and nothing has been agreed. The Garden leave is due to direct competition between my current role and the one I am going to though they still want me to be available for advice during my garden leave which is fine. I think it will all be able to be worked out, thanks for your help.0

Of course, whilst it may be "worked out" it would be slightly unwise to make an issue out of 14 days holiday when you are actually being given three months paid holiday. Otherwise they may rethink the whole garden leave thing. They may be unable to allow you to work in your own role due to the competitive risk, but that is a perfect (and lawful) reason for making you work the three months in another role!0

Indeed but that doesn't stop you making one hell of a fuss about it afterwards!
If you feel you have an arguable case you have three months in which to lodge an employment tribunal claim.
You can't be certain but this is the sort of issue where there is a good chance they will think it is easier and cheaper to settle rather than fight.0 -
Note any days of garden leave on which you have to provide advice. I would argue that these cannot be holiday.I resigned on September 12th (3 months notice period) and finish today and nothing has been agreed.

they can always break the holidays into chunks with work/garden leave days between to get round any notice issues.0
