If you leave work, can you get your sick/holiday pay???

[Arimeh]

You can't get the sick pay, but the holiday pay is usually lumped together in their last pay. Which doesn't always work out for the best, cos usually it pushes you into the next tax bracket and you pay more tax

[Pandora]

yep, cant get sick pay but should be entitled to have his anual leave paid out.
How long has he worked there for?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Umm, I think 3 .5 years??

[Pretty Butterfly]

I didn't think he would get his sick pay, but his holiday pay would be good.....


Actually, its 4.5 years.....

[Pandora]

ah ok.
If it was longer than 7, they'd also have to pay him pro-rata LongService Leave, but as its less that wont apply

[Pretty Butterfly]

Ooohh, that woulda been nice!!!

Is it law he gets his holiday paid out??? Its not in his contract, and we know he will have a fight to get it outta his boss....

His boss is also going into some murkey waters, and Ad wants out.....

[feeb]

he should get holidays paid out

[Bumperstump Cummerbund]

As long as Ad gives notice according to award, he'll get paid out his annual leave. Unfortunately sick leave is a 'just in case', not an entitlement, so that won't be paid out - which is why so many people are sick a lot just before they resign

DH just put in his 1 weeks notice resignation last Friday. They said he'll get paid out his 3 weeks holidays if he stays the full week. I think if they stay at work the full amount they have to give notice for (whether its 1 week or 2 weeks etc) then they must pay you the amount. Sick leave no they dont get it, which is a pitty, but at least they get something.
