Need some advice, So at work my compter wasnt working an it man came to collect it on a thruday eveneing when i went home i dont work fridays, he ended up not briging it back tillthruday the follwing week, my manager texted me on monday saying dont come in your pc isnt here so so theres nothing you can do, on tuesday he said the it man had personal issues so couldnt bring it back, on weneday he siad he wasnt bringing it in till 4pm i finish at 5pm, so again i misssed the day, i went in the next day on thruday, the folliwing week i had an email saying they were taking the 3 days from my hoilday. They cant do that can they?

No they can't. An employer can require you to take holiday but they need to give twice as much holiday as the amount they're telling you to take. So for example, to make you take three days' holiday, they'd have to give you six days' notice, which they did not.

If you were willing and able to come to work and they just told you not to for reasons beyond your control, they should pay you.

There was no other pc or laptop you could have worked from ?

Of course they cant do that, how long have you worked there?

@bigchris No other computers as everyone has there own.

@melissasummerfield I’ve been there 6months so far.

@flowery thank you that’s what I thought but as I wasn’t 100% sure I didn’t want to argue , I’ve now sent an email to them
