Holiday Pay Query

Hi Again,

I am currently using annual leave to cover my notice period. My question is, does this include weekends as well? Sorry if this is a silly question as I just want to make sure I am covering all of my bases. I have been told by my employer they will pay me for up to ten days of any holiday entitlement I have left over from the notice period.

Thanks,

johnsmithy

    No, you are only using holiday on days on which you would otherwise have turned up and worked.

    Depends on how many days a week you work.

    I had a previous Job where i worked 3 days per week.

    If I had 15 days holiday remaining, that would give me 5 weeks off. Not 2 weeks and 1 day

    Yep Undervalued, that was my thinking as well, just needed a second opinion, just to make sure.

    I got my first pay cheque of two, so just anticipating the final one, now.

    Since I finished on the 19th, my notice begun on the 20th. Therefore, during January, I would have used 9 days of my holiday. During February, I shall use 12, so that is overall 21, but I have some more leave already built up, so the final February pay cheque will include payment up to the 17 February and also additional holiday leave payment due as well.

    Thanks for your help :)

    Which is why I asked if the OP normally worked weekends ...

  • I am sure you might have heard of word " Working days "
    So while counting your days off you will only have to count working days , days when you go for work , do you work on weekends?
    if yes then it will be counted .
  • Thanks - sorry I find all of this confusing, which is why I appreciate all your help.

    Sorry Savvy Sue, no I don't work weekends.

    Techfy12, thanks. As you can appreciate, my mind's all over the shop right now, so its difficult to think logically, sometimes.
