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

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

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.

Thanks ladies!!!!!

I have a feeling he will put in his notice today. A few of the jobs he put in for last week are looking very promising!!!

PB, if you think they might not give him his holiday pay, then he could apply for 3 weeks leave and then when he gets his leave money on the day he goes on leave put in his resignation. But i guess that would mean hanging around a bit longer. hope it works out for you.

Actually, what are the legalities of Ad taking 3 weeks leave, and putting in his notice to leave on the first day of his holidays????

I know its not ethical, but he needs outta there... the business trip the boss just came from has Ad a little worried, and he wants to get out in case the ***** hits the fan!!!

(he wants Ad to make deals he KNOWS are in a greyish area legally)

Happens all the time. Legal, well unless there is something in his agreement about it, just not really moral. Considering his situation though it might be a good idea. Just see if he can get all his leave paid in advance, I know when I did payroll I would sometimes be requested to pay leave money as someone was going overseas , rather then just pay the leave the normal pays.

Get him to take his sick pay before he puts in his resignation, then while on sick leave, put in his notice.
This will get him the sick pay and the leave...

...Not the best thing moral wise perhaps, but probably well deserved in this case.
