Quitting your job

TheLivingDead

Long story short - been with my current company about 3 months - I literally can't hack it anymore.

Manager incompetence, bullying in the work place (not to me but it's going on with my colleagues), certain people given free reign to act and behave as they want, weak management, low morale, I could go on and on.

Anyways, seriously considering jacking it in this week. Took last week off annual leave - received my monthly pay on Friday so technically they don't owe me for any days I next months pay. Nothing lined up as of yet but I don't foresee finding a new job as being a problem.

As it's still January, and I still have 21 days annual leave left, will they carry over into my next job or do they get paid up into your final pay cheque? My memory is a bit hazy on how this works - just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row (planning to do some travelling in July so obviously would rather the Annual Leave than to be paid for it but I recall someone saying they got paid for their remaining days annual leave instead?)

Any help appreciated

you'll get paid for what every days you have worked plus the accrual of your AL. AL for the next job will be prorata'd

Your current employer might deduct any Al payments if for example you took full week in January. That will be deducted from your final pay.

Your future employer might not necessarily pay you full allowance if you haven't earned it, especially in first months of employment.

8% is a good indication of what your entitlement is. For every 100 hours worked you get 8 hours paid, you still get your 20 days min a year, but payments don't always go in line with actual days you are allowed to take.

Not sure if that makes sense, hope it does.

You don't have 21 days annual leave (unless the company takes a very unlikely and unorthodox approach to AL). A typical method of calculating AL is 8% of hours worked: assuming a 37.5 hour week, and 12 weeks worked, you would've accrued almost a week of AL.

AL is exclusive to one job. Your AL entitlement is zero when you start a new job.

So long story short guys - if I quit, I will get some sort of payment for annual leave in my final pay in feb, and as regards a new job, I will have 0 days A/L and it's at the discretion of my new employer?

Thanks for the responses btw

You have worked there for 3 months so there is no way you have 21 days annual leave left.

You are given a certain number of annual leave days to be used over the course of the year. If you only worked there for 3 months out of the companys financial year then you will be only entitled to 3 months of annual leave which is 1/4 of your annual allowance.


Now that is clarified, the way employers work is if you have taken more holidays then you have earned then you will be deducted this from your final pay check. If you have earned more holidays then you have taken then you will be paid for these in your final pay check.

Apart from all that your standard advice is to stay in the current job until you find another. Even if you find a new job tomorrow you might not get paid your first wage in the new role for 2 months depending on when you actually start working for them.

If you had no days carried over from last year and have already taken a week off in 2019, I'm fairly sure you owe them time.

You accrue annual leave in each job - ie you work for it.


You've been there 3 months, and taken 1 week of leave. Therefore you've got essentially no annual leave left. If you stay for a year, you'll have the remainder of your 21 days left to take within the year.


When you start a new job, you have no annual leave. You work to accrue it.

questionee

i hope you will not apply for ja/jb because tbh i dont want to support such actions as a tax payer

This comes across as a wind up, especially re AL expectations.
