    do you have a contract?
    i suggest you read it and it will help you withthis and other questions you have.

    im not sure why you would expect holiday pay if you are leaving your job and then going on holiday though.

    however, you should have accrued around 1.6 days worth of holidays a month since you started, so you may be entiteled to be paid for them if you leave. although again, this depends on your contract

    It doesn't depend on the contract - it's the law
    There are three different ways of calculating your annual leave:

    * Based on the employee's working hours during what is called "the leave year", which runs from April to March. An employee who has worked at least 1,365 hours in the leave year (i.e. an average working week of 26.25 hours) is entitled to the maximum of 4 weeks annual leave. Many employers use the calendar year (i.e., January-December) instead of the official leave year to calculate entitlement.
    * By allowing 1/3 of a working week for each calendar month in which the employee has worked at least 117 hours
    * 8% of the hours worked in the leave year, subject to a maximum of 4 weeks

    An employee may use whichever of these methods gives the greater entitlement.

    namit if you have been working full time for the past 3 months, you will be entitled to at least 8% of your total earnings - as holiday pay

    be careful. it may be the law, but there are circumstances where you dont get holiday pay, and you can still sign away your rights, regardless...
