Resigning

Misticles

I am sending in a letter of resignation.

How will I know if I am due holiday pay? Can I put that in the letter?

8% of the total work hours for the last year is the amount afaik

In my experience, there's no need to put that type of stuff in your resignation letter - it's generally worked out afterwards as your end date might need to be confirmed etc.

Edit: Do you have a HR/Payroll Department, and are they approachable? If not, then you could put in a line saying that you'd be grateful if you could be advised as soon as possible of your outstanding holiday pay.

Check out www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/employment to confirm your entitlements.

Letter of resignation is a very simple thing

To HR/Management

This is written confirmation of my one week/month/whatever notice to leave employment at x company

Dated (remember to date it)

When I left my last job I stayed on a few weeks extra past my notice as it suited me better. Boss said that was cool. Such a lier, he was glad to see me gone :pac:
And sometimes you might get escorted off the premises.

So they won't calculate your holiday pay until you confirm your leaving date

I confirmed my leaving date, "with immediate effect"

They havn't given me hours in two months so I highly doubt they will keep me any longer

I just put "please forward any outstanding holiday pay to bank account"

Misticles

Handed it in only to find I was no longer listed on the rota!

Name gone and all!

Fired before you quit ?

pretty much yup but was never told about it................

your employer is legally bound to pay your holiday entilements,and this is based on hours worked last year 2009,so if you worked a 39 hour week every week last year you would be entitled 20 days holidays in 2010,and this would not include Bank Holidays

Still have not received my p45 as of yet.

I was thinking too.

They changed my contract to a 0 hours one ie no minimum requirement for work per week.

They did this and enforced it without telling me. I only found out when I requested a copy of my contract.

Where do I stand with holiday pay on this?

I'm not sure of the requirements for holiday pay under a 0 hour contract.

Also, I was informed that part time staff can carry hours over to the next year.

So I should have +3years of part time work done, ie 3years of hours minus the holidays that I have taken.

Would this be right?
