Nanny holiday & sick pay help pls

[RachieB]

Hi

I am starting a new position soon, and we are finalising the contract

I am a bit confused about sick pay and holiday entitlement

My days of work will be Tues,Wed & Thurs
so no bank holidays worked this year,inc the xmas period

How many days am I entitled to ?

Also statutory Sick pay is apparently only paid after 3 consecutive days ?
so if sick for 1 or 2 days this is unpaid ? or taken as holiday ?!

Thanks in advance

The employer can refuse permission to go on holiday. Certainly possible to grant holiday permission subject to the days exceeding annual allowance being taken as unpaid leave.
ACAS and BERR websites will have more info. I'm on mobile so can't post links easily.

From ACAS Holiday Advice Leaflet
Applying for leave
Workers are required to give notice to their employers if they wish to take a holiday. The notice must be twice as long as the period of leave requested. For example, a worker wanting one week?s holiday needs to give two weeks?
notice. The employer can refuse permission by giving counter notice at least as long as the leave requested, ie one week.
