alright
Today on the ride home, my passengers and I were talking about the pope and God and generally ripping the piss. One of them said "Yeah, but in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Steve... omg *cackles*" and I collapsed in rib-bending giggles at the wheel. In retrospect it wasn't that funny, but other than walking with an old schoolfriend and getting her on board as another test client for the charity on board, my day's been pretty average. How has your day been?

I'll need 4 weeks up-front so drop off £2k at your convenience and we can get cracking.

Talk notice period.
What do you want to get?
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 21:59, Reply)
My contractual period is two months.
But due to the situation at work (the two biggest contracts being lost), they are willing to let me go early, at the end of the year.

The holiday year, however, runs from January 1st to December 31st, which means that if I am employed on 1st January, I will have 25 days holiday, which is a month's pay on top of my final salary payment.

If I request January the 3rd as my last day (which would realistically mean my last actual day in the office would be something like the 28th), can they feasibly insist I go earlier so they don't have to pay the 25 days holiday pay?
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 22:03, Reply)
No because you'll get pro-rata holidays
In other words if you have 24 days holiday you're entitled to 2 a month.

If you lerave at the end of January they'll owe you 2 days.
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 22:06, Reply)
Really?
But if I was employed there I could (potentially) take all 25 days off in a five week block. Which would mean taking holidays I hadn't accrued yet.
(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 22:07, Reply)
So you'd owe them money for holidays you'd not earned.
That's the way it almost universally works.

If you leave on Jan 3rd they'll owe you about 45 minutes.

So go for ASAP then?

(, Wed 23 Nov 2011, 22:10, Reply)
You may as well
Have you taken all of your 2011 holiday entitlement?

If so you'll owe THEM about 2 days if you leave before end of December.

Double check your contract, but I've never known a company that doesn't work like that.

I'm not thinking about a sickie.
My references have been accepted at my new place in Leeds, so all I need to do is hand in my notice. I have been told that they are willing to let me go earlier than my contractual notice permits (by a good 2/3 weeks), but I obviously want the grand for holiday pay.

Can they make me go earlier or refuse to pay me the holiday pay?

See above
Think of it as a rolling entitlement.

Yes.
You earn 'holiday' over the course of a year. If you've got holiday outstanding you've not taken, they'll pay you. But you don't get 25 days on the 1st Jan.

Forget that, take a few days off over crimbo, start the new job ASAP.

I wish yourself/team/company all the best for the future.

Based on my holiday entitlement of 'z' I understand my last working day will by 'zz' - please advise if my calculations are incorrect.
