Holiday Pay Deduction

nashby1

Hello,

I was just wondering if I have started a new job during November I'm obviously not entitled to the full years holiday.

However, If the company is closed for a week over Christmas, can they deduct my wages for the holiday days taken against my will?

I would and could have worked them, but they decide to close

Thanks

They can tell you when to take your holidays, and if you hadn't earned enough by Christmas then yes, they can deduct wages for it.

Just in case OP returns, if you have a contract of employment your answer should be in the hand book they supplied with it.
If not ask HR.
