Holiday pay when leaving job?

DenisG98

Hi all,

I have been working at a job full time for nearly 4 months and I have decided that I will be leaving next week for another job (part time). The main reason for this is that my current job is not able to work around my college schedule for the academic year.

After hours or searching online, I still don't understand whether or not I will be receiving holiday pay that I have accumulated over the course of the 4 months that I have worked. The holiday pay in my case is calculated as 8% of all the hours worked by the rate of pay which comes out to be a fairly decent sum. I haven't requested/received holiday pay from the company as I did not take any holidays during the summer year.

If I am eligible to receive holiday pay, how do I receive it on my final payslip. Do I write out a form or email the manager? I don't want to ask the manager about holiday pay as I am honestly leaving the company very unexpectedly and at a bad time.

Main question: Will I get holiday pay that is owed to me when leaving my job?

If you are leaving a job you are entitled to receive payment for any outstanding annual leave and public holidays due to you.

Any holiday entitlement you have accrued will be paid on your final payslip. That's how it's always been done for me. You shouldn't have to request them. Just make sure it's been calculated correctly.

Probably should read " ... should be paid"! I think it would be no harm to ask the question from whoever does the payroll. Much easier to sort it out before you leave than after!

I'd definitely mention it to your manager or payroll department OP. As another poster said it should be paid, but these things can sometimes slip through the cracks. Just send an email/give a call saying you haven't taken any holiday leave since you started, and you wanted to ensure the balance of holiday pay owed to you would be included in your final payslip.

They may also make/let you use the leave to shorten your notice period, instead of paying you extra. You'd still be paid for those days.
