    Hi There

    I had 4 annual leave days left when I had to go on sick leave ( and claim illness benefit from social welfare ) from work for the last two months of last year. Can anyone advice if my employer is entitled to pay me for the four days or not? Also two public holidays over xmas were also during the time i was off, again am i entitled to anything from my employer,

    Any help would be great

    Regards
    JB

    If you are full time, 5 days per week, you will have lost 3 and a third days of your annual leave as you do not accrue leave while absent due to illness.

    If you do not use your annual leave, in the leave year (for whatever reason), whether you are paid in-lieu of the annual leave you did not take, or not, is at the discretion of your employer. They are not obliged to pay you. Some companies do, some don't. Some allow you to carry a portion of your annual leave into the following year- others don't. It depends on what policies are in place with your employer. You have no automatic right to receive pay in-lieu of the leave you did not take, though.
