In your case, it's Friday 27th. 8 minutes ago, vfr400boy said: Dose it matter that they is a bank holiday in the month? Bank holidays do not have to be given as paid leave and can be included in part of your holiday entitlement. That will be at the discretion of your employer. 1 minute ago, vfr400boy said: Just want to leave on good terms that’s all but don’t want to be done out of my 2days payed holiday! You are legally entitled to take your 2 days as part of your notice period. You're legally entitled to be paid for it regardless of whether you work your notice or not. If you have to work the full notice period and they don't allow you to take the 2 days they have to cash you in on your final pay day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KES2 171 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 She should accept your notice from when received by the company, not personally. However, leaving on good terms is priceless so I would tell your new employer and ask if he would vary it by two days so you can have a break - if he says 'rather not' then forget the 2 days and ask for holiday pay instead. Its always the employee never the boss - but she did know she just didnt give you her proper attention - therefore holiday pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand mate, I,m pretty unemployable if truth be told, so I,ve never had paid hols or sick pay or anything else, I just get payed per job and if I don't like someone I just gel on to the next one, so though I,d tell her to do one and just go, you have to do what sits best with your own conscience and brings the best result for you and your circumstances, good luck which ever route you choose ?

Look at this handy government pamphlet on your rights regarding giving your notice. It will go into more details but I refer the honourable gentlemen to the comments I made earlier in the thread. But to recap... She cannot decide when you gave notice. It's from the date submitted not the date received. At the latest is starts the day after you hand it in which would be Saturday 28th, not Monday 30th. The amount of notice required will be in your employment contract. You are not entitled to be paid for bank holidays and they can be included in your holiday entitlement. This will be in your employment contract. You are entitled to receive your holiday pay either with leave or with financial restitution. This is a legal requirement. Don't take my word for it, though. If you want to push the issue contact ACAS. If you think it's going to f*ck up your start date with your new employer contact them and explain the situation. Leaving on good terms is one thing. F*ck*ng up your reputation before you've even started is something else. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just work your notice period and don't take the holidays, you can't be made to take them and they will have to pay you for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
