Nanny holiday. Is this fair?

[bettina46]

I've been working as a nanny for my present family for over 3 years and my contract finishes at the end of this month. We always counted my holiday entitlement from August to July because I started work in August some time ago. From August 2014 I haven't asked my bosses for a holiday but they were away 1 week in October and I was off then. I asked MB if I could work to the end of March and then have 1 week holiday paid and she said yes. Very sadly my father died in February and I had to go to the funeral abroad so I got I week off. MB said she stopped my payments and payslips with the last week of March and obviously I wil not have my 1 week holiday paid now. Is this fair?

Hi again, thank you all for your advice. I checked the holiday entitlement calculation, called ACAS, sent an e-mail to my boss and I will get money for 3 days of unused holidays at the end of my employment. That's great because I'm going away for 10 days before I start my new job and I need money :)

Great news.
