3 month garden leave - can I cancel pre-booked holiday?

kerbo2003

Hi there,

I have resigned and placed on 3 months garden leave. My employer has written saying I must be available for work etc and clarified I will have accrued 0.5 days holiday to be paid in my last salary.


I then realized I had booked 4 days holiday during my garden leave.


Can I cancel the 4 days I had pre-booked and have them paid with the additional half day owing to me at the end of the garden leave?


As a normal employee you need to give 1 weeks notice for holidays, and I have complied with this.


I am prepared to be called to work during this time, and have confirmed this again to them.


Thanks for your help!

it's up to the employer, they can decide when you take holidays.

even thought they have written to me saying they will pay me the half day when my garden leave ends?

My ideal is I work the 3 months garden leave and then get 4.5 days extra pay.

that only applies to that 1/2 day

they can still do what they want for the others.

check the holiday is correct

anual allowance including BH
holiday year
holidays taken so far inc BH
leaving date.

Yes they are all correct. My employer has been fair thus far.

I have not had a reply from them yet regarding cancelling the 4 days so hoping they just pay at end.


I asked to leave early but they declined saying 3 months would apply.
