OK thanks.  So in effect the change is worthless if the employee cannot obtain agreement from their employer to carry forward annual leave into 2021?  If for example I have 7 days left come December and my employer says use it or lose it, what rights do I have, can I point to the change in legislation and carry these forward regardless?

No!
They can insist you use the leave long before then if they want to!
Sorry, but I have explained the situation twice. I realise it is not what you want to hear!

If the employer is unaware of the change in legislation then I don't see what's wrong with pointing out the change.  If they are the impression full time employees MUST take 28 days annual leave by law this year but the law says it's OK for some of those to be rolled over then it might be they change their stance when they look in to it.  However, as you allude to it might be that they want their employees to take all their annual leave this year anyway, it really depends on their business situation.

I agree.

I was asking for clarification so I understood what it was you were saying, apologies if I have wasted your time.

The main thrust of the Government aid has been to try and help keep companies - and hence the economy - afloat. Any benefit to employees was secondary (certainly at first, although that has changed a little since then).
