What are the rules regarding holiday entitlement when resigning?

poppylou: What are the rules regarding holiday entitlement when resigning?
When I resigned from my job as the manager of a shop I had taken three of my four week holiday entitlement. I worked my contracted two week notice period and my final day was 26th September. If I had continued in my employment I would have been taking my fourth week’s holiday on the week beginning 4th October (one week after my final day), this had been written on the holiday form since January 2009.
I am correct in believing that I should have been paid this week’s holiday after leaving my employment?

As far as I know every company is different because holiday/vacation/sick time are not mandated. The only people who really know what you would be entitled to would be the benefit/payroll department at your company.

In my company, we would be paying out any unused vacation that someone had accrued, but not floating holidays. We get floating holiday hours at the beginning of the fiscal year and vacation hours are accrued each month depending on your years of service. So if I were to resign right now I would get paid out for like one day I think…as that is all I have accrued that I haven’t taken.

Hope that helps…

No. You were not employed at the point that this holiday would have been earned.
