Repaying holiday taken when leaving job

[chaosisawayoflife]

On behalf of a friend. He is leaving his job and has taken 7 days holiday this financial year. The company are telling him her has only accrued 5 days before leaving so they will take the extra 2 days out of his final pay. Is this normal practice?

yep
it'll ne in part of his contract, he can't take holidays he didn't earn

Yes it's normal practice - but i'd query how they have worked it out.

Yes absolutely. Should be outlined in his contract or handbook but if leaving employment you are only entitled to holiday you've accrued up to that point, so if you've taken more, it would usually be deducted from final salary.

Yes, very normal but ask to see the figures.

If it isn't in the contract or terms of employment they can't take the money back as it is an unlawful deduction from wages.

I would imagine they'd class this as an overpayment higgle, therefore deduction wouldn't be unlawful.

The accrual period should include the notice period though .

Unfortunately yes
