I am based in the UK, an employee worked for me for * weeks and resigned. She is now chasing me for a weeks notice period and accrued holiday.
Hi Andrew! In the UK, employees are generally entitled to:
- A minimum notice period of one week once they've worked for you for a month.
- Accrued holiday pay for the time they've worked.
Did you have a written contract specifying notice periods and holiday entitlement?
In the fist 6 months probation * week notice. I should also mention that the employee had 3 days holiday the week she tendered her resignitation
Hi Andrew! Here are some points to consider:
- The statutory minimum notice period in the UK is one week if the employee has worked for you for at least one month.
- Employees are entitled to payment for any accrued but unused holiday when they leave.
Did the employee work for a full month before resigning?
no
Andrew, since the employee did not work for a full month, they may not be entitled to the statutory minimum notice period. However, they are still entitled to payment for any accrued but unused holiday. Did the employee have any accrued holiday left after taking 3 days off?
*\
Andrew, since the employee did not work for a full month, they are not entitled to the statutory minimum notice period. However, they are entitled to payment for any accrued but unused holiday. You mentioned the employee had 3 days holiday; did they have any remaining accrued holiday left?
Is there anything else you would like to know?
*
Andrew, your employee is entitled to payment for the 2 days of accrued but unused holiday. Since they didn't work for a full month, they aren't entitled to the statutory minimum notice period.
Would you like guidance on how to calculate the holiday pay or any other aspect of your situation?
