    Hi
    I got a promotion to salary pay last month. I was on an hourly rate before this and worked up over 100 hours holiday pay. I found out that I am going to be paid this in full without my consent. still waiting on my contract but hr had said I can hold on to them for hols in Oct and still have my 20 day hols.
    is this legal???

    Well for starters you're not going to have 20 days of holiday; if you got promoted 1st of June you'll have 11.67 days (20/12 * 7); either way your best bet is to discuss it with HR.

    You have any real right to pick your holidays. You just have to take them if your work tells you to. It looks to me that they don't want you taking your saved holidays at a higher rate of pay.

    It's probably not 100% legal to pay them ou, TBH, but this may not be the time to rock the boat about it: new job means you're on probation again. You may need to stick the extra cash into a bank account, and use it to take some unpaid leave in October.

    But do talk to HR, it may just be a HR / payroll communications issue.
