Furlough and annual leave

Sushinha

Apologies for the most likely repeated question, but I have a doubt.

In my contract it says the company reserves the right to allocate the holidays. Fair enough. But they warned us the payslip would be for holidays on the 17th June. The payslip for the holidays includes from the 8th to 21st June. So they warned us that would include holidays after our "holidays" started... Is this right? What can I do?

Technically no they need to give you twice as long notice as they want you take. If you want to take challenge it yes you would probably win, but it would probably be a hallow victory. If they have furloughed staff they are obviously struggling and redundancies may be on the cards, why put yourself top of the list.
