PILON contract terms

Hey,

I am being made redundant with under the following contractual terms -

"The Company shall have the discretion to terminate your employment lawfully without any notice or on notice less than that required by previous clauses, by paying to you a lump sum equal to your salary and a value of contractual benefits in respect of that part of the notice period which the company has not given you"

Does this mean I am entitled to my contractual holiday accrued during my notice period? As this could be considered a "contractual benefit" as above?

I am at sea on this as I understand if there was no clause you can say it is breach on contract and get it. If there is a clause and it only covers salary then you don't.

Cheers,
Skulkin

    value of contractual benefits in respect of that part of the notice period which the company has not given you

    With holiday that would accrue during notice that is PILONed it is always possible to have the person take that holiday during the notice should they work it(or be on garden leave)

    Therefore it has no value.

    you could try to make a case that they do have to pay it.

    Agree with GM4L but you can always ask :)
