when my employer cancelled my holiday...

no, i meant from the sense that they could demand you be in work. But it is still you who decides to physically cancel a booked holiday. You could always refuse and see what happens (if they refuse to re-imburse or its something like your wedding) or resign.

I'd resign if an employer told me to cancel a holiday and refused to cover pre-existing costs. Its a very bad way to treat staff.

I found a few website that may help:

Personally, I would get my employer to specifically state in writing that they are trying to cancel the holiday. I would send an email stating the fact that the holiday is already booked and paid for after they agreed to the time off. I would then ask them to reply stating that knowing these facts that they still wish to cancel. Print out and send a copy of these emails to your private email address. You can use this for evidence should you need it later.

As others had say i would also still take the holiday and inform my employye that this is what I would be doing.

I'm not saying the employer would be right but if you did this after they gave correct notice to cancel the holiday you leave yourself open for disciplinary action to be taken.

I would not advise taking a/l after authorisation has been rescinded otherwise you may find yourself on a very extended "holiday".

I would already be looking for another job anyway.
