HR Letter states i am not entitled to my accrued holiday when I resigned from my job.
Hi everyone, I am just looking for some advice really. I worked for a well known large UK company specialising in money exchange.
I have worked for this company for 11 months on a temp contract. I was told that they will not be renewing my contract and so I got another job relatively quickly.
It was all of a sudden as they passed my probation and a week later they said they were letting me go as I did not meet expectations.
I had 12.7 hours holiday left, which I understand is not a lot but I have Just received a letter from HR saying -
"You are required to use all outstanding and accrued holidays during your notice period. Any unused and accrued holiday not utilised before your last day in service will be lost, unless confirmed by HR."
I passed my probation and was given a letter saying I passed after 11 months of service but a week later found out they will not continue my contract and they gave me a month to look for another job. I could not give them a month notice as I acquired a new job so I had to give them only a weeks notice before I start my new job.
I have looked on Acas and this does not seem right? - I just want to see if this is allowed before I email back HR with my response, if there is any.
Thank you so much for your time.
