If anyone works in the nhs please can you shed any light on this holiday allowance?

I want to know if my ex (Dd’s) dad is telling me the truth.

He says if he doesn’t use his holiday allowance then he doesn’t get to roll it over or get paid for it. Surely you get paid for holiday if you don’t take it?? That’s what’s always happened in my work but I work in the private sector in finance.

He is basically saying he hasn’t been able to take the leave and now will lose it and not be paid for it either. Is this right? He is a fellow if that makes a difference.

It's very much use it or lose it in my Trust, although, there is always some Manager discretion. I asked for AL and was denied due to high sickness levels ( not mine ) and my manager allowed me to carry a few days over, which I took in the first month on the next AL year.

He is a medic or another profession? The medical contract is different to agenda for change (everyone else).

He's right- if we don't use it then we lose it

In that case you need a court order mandating his custody arrangement. He has leave; he can and should take it. But if he’s not willing to, he should at least be responsible for arranging/paying for some of the childcare, or the maintenance should be adjusted accordingly.

I work for the NHS and we aren't allowed to carry leave over. We have to use it or lose it and are encouraged throughout the year to book leave.

CMS takes account of how many nights a year he has DC so this should be already being taken account of if your using their service i.e less than 52 nights a year then you should be eligible for the full amount without reduction, depending on your income you may also be eligible for childcare help via universal credit
