Wage entitlement

fitzparker

Looking for advise. My partner works in a small childcare setting she went on maternity leave April and knowing she would not return (as we recently moved over an hour away) informed her boss in May (to give loads of time for replacment) boss advised she cannot accept notice until October when mat leave was finished which was fine. Boss got onto partner in August to say lease was up in that place and she opened in a new area under a different name if partner would like to return but unfortuantely it was still too far so she couldn't.

She heard nothing since so 2 weeks ago and had to mail boss for P45 and final payslip.

Playslip arrives with just the 3 bank holiday day wage (so 3 days wage)

This is obviously wrong so She will get back onto her about back week, annual leave days etc. As she should really be owed around 10 days at least by estimation.

My question is although original setting closed in August and new one opened september she still only officially handed in notice in October. Should she be entitled to her accumulated Annual leave until end of Mat leave? Or because she advised she wouldn't be able to work in new setting it stops in August when first company closed?

Unless she got formally made redundant from the first location, then yes she should have got her AL entitlement until October.
