Hi all,
I am resigning from my current job to start a new employment. My last day of work is 22nd March.
My employer has asked me to complete a 'termination of employment form' which details where I'm going, why I'm leaving etc. My manager has kindly prefilled some parts of this form including my remaining annual leave. In my org, AL runs from April to March, and on my leave card I have 10 days remaining to take.
My manager says I am only entitled to 6.75 working days. When I quereied this, she said I dont get to take or be paid for annual leave in a month where I haven't worked the full month.
Dueto bank hols and weekends (when I don't normally work) there are actually only 4 working days left of the month that I am NOT working, if that makes sense. I can't help feeling I am being ripped off for these extra 3 and a bit days.
I have been in the organisation forsome years now and have always had good relationships with management. I feel my manager has pushed me to hand my notice in and has positively encouraged me to leave before the end of the month as she has already recruited my replacement. She has actually agreed for me to give short notice to leave sooner as this made her recruitment decisions easier.
My contract only specifies my AL entitlement (27 days plus statutory public holidays) and makes no reference to taking annual leave for part-months worked.
Does anybody have any experience of this as I don't know whether to bother fighting my corner or just to let this one go.
TIA
