Few questions on annual leave and holiday entitlements pay etc...

Hi there, I've been working most of my adult life but never really take holidays because I just don't need the time off. It bores me. I started my current job in march of last year at the end and have taken 4 days off total. It's mostly part time 25+ hours a week! I got paid 13000 ish from this company to the end of December, so was wondering what my holiday entitlements are.

I don't want the time off to be honest, but am I entitled to holiday pay? Or do I just have to take unpaid days off? I can't remember what my contract says, but from a legislation standpoint am I due pay if I take holidays or not.

Yes you accrue holiday pay, 8% of the total hours you work. I'm not entirely sure what happens if you don't take the holidays, if you're entitled to be paid out at the end of the leave year.

You're only entitled to holiday pay if you actually take the holidays. You're not entitled the extra pay if you decide to work through it. If your employer chooses to pay you for untaken holidays that's all up to them.
