Holiday Entitlement

w00519772

I handed in my notice recently and I discovered that I will be paid for 8 days annual leave that I have not taken. I have a few questions:

1) How is the daily rate calculated? Is it: net pay per year/number of working days per year?
2) If the answer to (1) is yes, then how many working days are there in 2016?
3) I handed in my notice part way through the month. I have noticed that most people who leave tend to leave on the last day of the month. I believe this means that they will receive an extra two days paid holiday. Is that correct?
4) I was due to start on 1st September with the new employer with 15 days holiday entitlement (April-Mar). I am now starting mid September (19th). Does this mean I will lose two days holiday entitlement?

Other aspects of holiday entitlement

Workers have the right to:

• get paid for leave
• build up (‘accrue’) holiday entitlement during maternity, paternity and adoption leave
• build up holiday entitlement while off work sick
• request holiday at the same time as sick leave

Disputes

Paid annual leave is a legal right that an employer must provide. If a worker thinks their right to leave and pay are not being met there are a number of ways to resolve the dispute.

Point 3 - your entitlement should be calculated based on what you have actually worked. If you were told that you had 8 days left up to the end of August, but are now working to mid September, they should recalculate that for you.
Point 4 - again, it will be calculated from when you start, but you aren't losing 2 days holiday if you are already receiving the extra 2 days from the old company (point 3)
