Holidays in furloughed

Lorr22

I have already booked a holiday for this year in Oct 19. We are due to go in July 20. Obviously with the crisis now we don’t know what will happen. However due to my work the company has had to close ( holiday campsite) . My boss said to me last week that I must take this week and next week as holiday. I emailed back to reply that with already having a booked and paid holiday and with also having to have Christmas off as a requirement by my company I would not have enough holidays left. He said to me if you don’t take the holidays he wouldn’t forget it!! Today he phoned and I tried to explain to which he said right ur been furloughed from last week and will only get 80% pay (which is fine) unlike the 100% pay those who agreed to will get. Is this right? Am I now at risk of been laid off because I didn’t agree to the holidays? Thanks

Your company can make you take holidays but they must give you double the length of the holiday in notice I.e. 2 weeks holiday needs 4 weeks notice
