    No it wont get the OP holiday - more like get into a lot of trouble.


    oh please, if she doesn't get the leave then I wouldn't be too worried about her getting in "trouble" as I would think she would leave, at least she could get some time off if she really needs it by taking some sick leave in the meantime.

    Yeah resign and then they will pay you the holiday or as sniggings says call in sick and I am sure your company will pay you full pay :eek:

    My last job paid full pay for the first 6 months then half pay for the next 6 months, sound like your in the wrong job.

    I am not in any job and nor will the OP be for long if they follow your advice.

    I have never had sick pay - oh well.

    How's about write a recorded but can-do letter with a number of options and scenarios which will pan out to a double bind along the lines of:

    a) pay me now and I'll work it
    b) if there's no word back by X I will have 2 days off on the last 2 working days of each month
    c) if it goes quiet on X I will take a day off

    Work out how much the holiday pay is worth and act accordingly. Act like a business person creating a win-win situation.
    Order of events: Banks lose our money -> get bailed out -> were inflating GBP to cover it -> now taxing us -> next will grab your funds direct -> things get really desperate to balance the books. What should have happened?: banks go bust and we lost our money much quicker
