not paid holiday I was told I had!

Hello,
In short-I was rota'd 2 nights annual leave at work last month. I contacted my assistant manager who does the rota, I told her I had no remaining annual leave and had not booked the time off. She told me (I still have the emails) Head Office told her I had 2 nights annual leave left to take which is why she rota'd it.
So I took it.
Then I didn't get paid for it!
I contacted her again and she said she only gave me what head office told her I had.
I contacted head office who have told me the assistant manager must have enquired before I took my last lot of entitlement (which surely if she hadn't noticed, she should have double checked when I questioned it?), so they won't be paying me.

So in short- I told them I had no leave left, they said I did, so I tool it, and they won't pay me for it.

I can't afford to lose out on 2 whole shifts pay!!

Citizens advice told me to put In a grievance against the manager.
any other advice gratefully welcomed though!
I leave the job at the end of this week anyway (I gave my notice, I'm going elsewhere) so I've nothing to lose.

Raise a grievance as mentioned but leaving actually puts you in a weaker position because frankly you are not going to take them to a tribunal over a mistake and as such they could, if they wish just fob you off.

If you still worked for them you could keep being a PITA to them that they might just sort it for the sake of two days pay.

You said it was last month, by the time youi leave you will have accrued 2 days holiday at least.
So you have lost out precisely nothing cash wise.
