    Hi

    Im finishing up at work on the 23rd of December, If it weren't for Christmas and the office being closed I'd be here till the 2nd of January. Am I entitled to any pay over the Christmas period or will I just receive unused holiday pay?

    Thanks

    No. Just holiday pay from when you were working.

    Why would you expect them to pay you when you finish on the 23rd for good?

    Are you beibng let go? Sorry to hear that if you are.

    Thanks for your reply!

    Yeah, I thought that but then someone said they thought I should be so figured it would be worth double checking. If only I had an extra few days to work in January...sigh!

    Thankfully I'm leaving by choice, off to see the world for a year or so!

    depending on how much annual leave its kind of the same thing really - if you finished for christmas on 23rd, then had say 1 week hols paid, and then back on the 2nd - lets imagine you worked for another week - you wouldn't have accumulated any additional holidays (most likely) so when you leave you would get your wages up to that date and no extra holiday pay (because you took your hols over christmas).
    If you leave on 23rd, and have a weeks hols (or however many days you have), you will get paid for them in your last pay cheque. Ok, so no extra days pay in the new year, but then again, you are leaving by choice so you should've planned better! ;)

    Would this apply in your case?

    Where—
    ( a ) an employee ceases to be employed during the week ending on the day before a public holiday, and
    ( b ) the employee has worked for his or her employer during the 4 weeks preceding that week,
    the employee shall, as compensation for the loss of his or her entitlements under section 21 in respect of the said public holiday, be paid by his or her employer an amount equal to an additional day's pay calculated at the appropriate daily rate.
