Dh leaving his job & holiday entitlement

[blushingm]

Hope someone can offer some advice and knowledge

Dh is leaving his job after 18 years - he has a new job.

Well he took off 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th January (so 4 days). His boss is saying he's only entitled to 1.5 days and he will deduct the other 2.5 days from his final pay. I've worked out that he'd be entitled to 4.6 days inc the 2nd January bank holiday so dh would only actually owe 0.4 days

Does anyone know the rules etc and what he can do if dh and the boss can't agree?

When does his holiday year start and finish?

What is his holiday entitlement and what does his contract/handbook say about holiday for leavers?

If his leave entitlement started in January, then it sounds to me as if his management has pro rata'ed his annual leave entitlement for the part of the year he remains in this employment and has come up with one answer, but your calculations have come up with another.

What is his annual leave entitlement?

I suggest your DH shows your assumptions and workings, and asks for theirs, then negotiates when both sides know where they're coming from.

Hi - his holiday year starts in January

His contract doesn't actually specify holidays or anything about holidays and leaving so I was using the 28 days (inc bank holidays) as the legal minimum

use this calculator

That says 4.6 days too . 1st jan to 29th feb

Had he been allowed to carry days/take days in advance etc between calendar years? Thats the only logical thing I can think of, other than his boss being an idiot.

I think maybe the boss is being a nob!

Are they allowed to mess with the bank holidays? Ie not give them till it's gone past and then take it off?

His 'official' leaving date is 29th feb

I'd imagine that BHs are not included in the calculation, it would be his started holiday entitlement, 20 days?

• Standard not started!

20 days is usually 1.5 days per month so he is entitled to 3 days and taken 4. Sounds like company has calculated upto date of resignation (if 4 weeks notice) not leaving date if that helps?

If his 28 days a year includes bank holidays then they have to be included in the calculation as the absolute minimum statutory holiday entitlement is 28 days.

Plus holiday accrues throughout notice as well. OP your calculations are correct.

I will learn one day to not advise on something I'm not 100% sure about.

I bow to flowerys knowledge and now I think I've been screwed at my last job over this.
