Just Been Sacked & I Have No Money

Can they force me to leave without letting me serve my notice? Can they force me to take my holiday?

Yes, they can make you use up your holiday.

How long have you been with the company?

even though you haven't had a chance to appeal?

The notice period can start before the appeal. The appeal hearing may even take place after the end of the notice period.

Edit: If the OP was reinstated, she should be able to argue that the 'holiday' was actually a period of suspension, and therefore she would still be entitled to take the holiday at another time.

The length of employment really is key here.

OP are you posting as an AE?

Am interested in the outcome of this nevertheless!

Good luck!

11 months. just spoke to Acas and she said they can't force me to take it, it has to be agreed.

Whats an AE? (sorry brain hurting)

Any help on this matter greatly appreciated as can't afford to lose holiday pay aswell.

That is strange, because ACAS advised me the opposite when I was in your position. That's the problem with any advice service, if you speak to a different person you may get a different answer. Alternatively, things may have changed, my situation was a few years ago.

As you have only been there eleven months I imagine ACAS have also advised you that your rights are very limited? That is probably why your employer has done it now and not in a months time? x
