As Bradders says, by law you're entitled to your 20 days of annual leave excluding bank holidays (assuming you work FT). 

You're employer is legally allowed to dictate when you use those holidays (with notice). A lot of employers are forcing their employees to take large portions of their holiday allowance whilst on furlough, so that they're not in a situation at the end of the year where everyone wants to book the same time off. 

Are you 100% sure that your employer isn't making you use up your holiday whilst you're furloughed?

Hi thank you for your reply. My husbands boss is not making him use his unused holiday during furlough but when they finally go back to work he’s saying that no one can have their holidays unless their do overtime to earn them 

You don't do overtime to earn holidays. If the employer does not make your husband use the holidays on furlough then they are still there.

Yes, he is making your husband do unpaid work by stealing his holidays. It's theft. Wage theft.

Although the solution for his boss is quite simple, just give him the notice to use the holidays this month. Then he can do it perfectly legally.
