untaken holidays...am i entitled to the pay

hi ev1 need some advice...i had been off work since before easter (was on sick and had GP sick note etc) till last week...and noticed in my payslip that i have only received statutory sick from my employer....there were no payments for the easter hols....

dh is convinced that whislt you are on the sick you cannot take holidays so it is either the holidays are owed back to you or you get paid for them....

i handed in my notice the week before last to allow for a 7 day notice period as what is stated in my contract of employment...this fell after the monday may day bank holiday....

there is nowhere in my coe that states regarding holiday pay only that they have to be taken by the end of the year or they will be lost....

i had never taken a holiday this year and feel that they owe me some money...after handing in my notice i received a letter stating i would be owed holidays and my p45 but heard nothing since....

but i feel that because i was paid statutory sick i will lose out on the public and bank holidays that i never actually had iykwim...

sorry if it seeems confusing but am i getting diddled...

Well you can take holiday while off sick - you'd just be 'back at work' for however many days but on holiday rather than off sick

However that is irrelevant in your case, as if you've only received SSP then you haven't taken holiday during your sick leave.

You say you have had a letter confirming you would be owed holidays, so why do you now think you are 'getting diddled'? Have you received your final salary payment and payslip yet?

What does your contract say about bank holidays? Were you paid ssp for Good Friday and Easter Monday?

it says they are on a pro rata ..to what i work...i am contracted to 2 days a week but was working 5 every week, from start of year...got one friday off..couldnt understand why but noticed it was 3 weeks before good friday so in effect she doesnt have to pay me for that as i believe if you are not in the following 6 weeks the bank holiday you dont qualify....
no did not get paid for either of the easter hols just ssp

Doormat - does your holiday year start from April 1st? And if so, did you have days owing to you from the last financial year?
