Final payslip still not received 2.5 months after leaving company

Could also go to ACAS; in theory you can bring a tribunal claim for failure to provide a payslip. Might focus their minds.

I once had a letter from HMRC demanding to know why one of my employees hadn't been given a P45. 

They hadn't told me they were leaving - casual job, effectively zero hours ... 

I know this isn't the same situation, but that's one way of getting the P45: tell HMRC it has not been sent to you!

They've got the P45.
I was pointing out they wouldn't have a P60 (mentioned by Thrugelmir) if the P45 gave their leaving date in the previous tax year.

I missed that, thought P45 was still AWOL

Have you received a P60? 

If you handed your notice in after the payroll cut-off. Did you provide the necessary notice period? 

Whether a P60 was due depends on the leaving date shown on the P45.

The OP appears to have been paid for the full tax year, as was last paid in March. No requirement for a P45 to hand over to a new employer. Used to be a P46 that was used in such circumstances, now an online starter checklist with the HMRC.

They didn't mention wanting the P45 to hand over to a new employer.  
What they want is a payslip to explain the calculation of their final pay.  A P60 wouldn't provide that help even if they had been employed at the end of the tax year (which depends on the leaving date shown on the P45).

The OP said

"April came and went no payment for holidays owed and no P45. "

If the OP had received a P60. Then would clarified the situation easily. Without the need to debate the matter pedantically.

May I quote the next sentence in the OP?
That was (with my emphasis):
"Start of May phoned payroll twice to ask about P45 and owed monies, took 2 weeks after chasing several times to get a payment into my bank account and forward me my P45. 

So there was no reason to introduce the idea of a possibly non-existant P60, which itself would not have provided more detail than looking at the P45 (and earlier payslips if necessary) though the P45 had not been received until mid-May.  Neither a P60 nor P45 would specify what pay had fallen into the category of paid leave or ordinary pay or how those elements of pay had been calculated.
