Holiday entitlement

wannaberich41

Hi
hope you can help?  I’ve worked for my employer for 28 years.  I currently get 20 days holiday plus bank holidays.  Our holidays run from 1st January to 31st December.
ive not taken any holidays yet but have been furloughed since 22nd March. 

Can they take any holidays off me and not pay for them?
They wanted us to take half our holidays by 31st august a discussion which was had because of going into lockdown.  Obviously they didn’t anticipate it being this long.  

I’ve not been paid for any so surely can’t take them off me?
also how do you calculate holidays?
say if I left today how many holidays would they need to pay me from January to end of august? 

I’ve got in my head it’s 1.2 days a month but not sure if that’s right.

I work 5 days a week .

It's approx 2.3 days a month. - 1.2 would give you 14.4 total

They can have you use up holiday, they have to give notice.

What form was the request to take at least 1/2 your holidays and when was that.
(that may be good enough to count as notice)

You get statutory holidays 5.6 weeks 28 days
End Aug is week 35 you have an entitlement on leaving of 5.6(35/52) = 3.77 weeks or 18.85 days
you take off those any paid holiday(probably NY day)

if they try to count the BH(or any others if the notice was sufficient) as taken then they need to have paid 100 rate for those and topped up furlough pay.

Notice to take holiday can be statutory or contractual and I suspect that if the dicuttion did count as notice it would be sufficient(they just need to pay it).
