leaving job but still have holiday time left

juanveron45

what is the procedure if someone leaves their job but still has most or alot of their holidays left?

seamus

The employer is obliged to pay the employee for the holidays outstanding for this year.

They are not obliged to pay you for holidays carried over from previous years or to allow you to use your remaining holiday time to take off work. That's at their discretion.

Do you know where to get this in writing? - like on revenue.ie or something?

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

just a quick question.i left my job on friday.well left/got the sack for not going in on the saturday.but was wondering if i still have any right to any holiday pay upto this?

damnyanks

Yes you do

I think the answer for alhimself is a little more complicated that that. By the sounds of alhimself's post he just finished up work on friday and buggered off without giving/serving any notice in which case I would suggest that any/most remaining holidays will disappear to cover this.

If you were paid for the saturday (ie are salaried) then they can take it from your annual leave. If it's waged, I'm not sure tbh.

You completely missed my point. If I decide tomorrow that I'm not going to turn up for work ever again and just don't bother coming in I'd still technically owe my employer a months notice. Theres not much I can do about them offseting part of my notice with my remaining holiday pay considering that I'm in breach of the legislation to begin with.
