Most of the pub chains are always looking for staff they can't keep them,.

One can see why! Perhaps they need it explained (whether at local or higher level) that holidays are a legal right, and how would _they_ suggest he take them to remain legal on all sides? Give _them_ a chance to decide, whilst at the same time, as they seem to be a bit dim, pointing out that it wouldn't look good if it came out elsewhere (senior management,press,tribunal..), although of course, you never mention any specific threat..

Its a big chain pub, unfortunately he is on a 0 hour contact and his holiday is accumulated with a restriction on taking holiday first three months and over Christmas. The notice period is one week. The holiday year finishes in April.

Thanks everyone for their input, its up to him if he leaves but ideally if he did he needs a job lined up to go to. I was just curious if there was anyway we could make them pay it as they have refused to grant the holidays his requested, and its been beyond his control why he has so much holiday left.

If it is a big chain of pubs call the HR dept at head office and explain the situation.
