I've worked for the same employer for 4 years, can she deduct holidays?

Andrew C

definitely not

Well if your in the UK, the law has just been changed so you have to have a minimum of 24 days anyway...

Besides that point, have a look at you contract, it should state clearly what your entitlement is.

John

no, If I was you I would double check with the organization policies and go further ask other people that are in the same industry. Good luck

That doesn't sound right at all, you should accrue more holiday entitlement over the years not less! Do you work just for one person or do out have an HR department, if you do get in touch with them as soon as you can.

Are you unionized? If so, then the labor contract will specify whether she can do it. If you are not unionized, then you are at the mercy of the employer.

You don't say what country you are in. In the US, employers are not required to pay you for vacation or holidays although most do for full-time employees, so it would be legal unless you have a contract that states otherwise. Laws differ in other countries.

no, look in your contract, if it says 20 days, they can't deduct, unless they rewrite the contract with new changes which should be discussed beforehand.
speak to the HR department, or ask for advice from a person who is in HR

confucious says

IRRESPECTIVE OF CONTRACT THE LEGAL RIGHT TO 24 DAYS PAID HOLIDAY CAME INTO FORCE TODAY SO IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK YOUR EMPLOYER IS BREAKING THE LAW A CONTRACT THAT STATES LESS THAN THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CANNOT BE ENFORCED

mad as hell

Depends on local laws..since you don't state what country or state you are in ..I'll tell you the laws here...an employers is not required to pay for any holidays or bank days..it's an incentive given to employees..but if the employee manual states that you get certain days off then they must abide by it until the employers changes their manual to show the changes....if you are in a contract type employment such as a union or personal contract then the contract can be modified ..but you would have to accept it or deny it..or the union would have accept it. Different situations have different resolves.

Unless you have something in writing such as an employment contract or a personnel policy that states what employees receive in their benefit packages, you really can't do anything about it. The private sector has the ability to make those types of changes at any time.

no,youve been there for 4 years why suddenly change if you have a contract , you have the right to complain.

Do you have a contract? If not, they can pretty much do as they please if you live in the south.

hi -regardless that you dont have a contract of employment, by working for her and receiving your pay every week that as much as accepting her terms and conditions.
This can also go in your favour that for the past years you have had the same entitlement so really she cannot cahnge it now.
If you have taken too many holidays - you will both need to agree on what to do next. Obviously she authorised your previous holidays so she should not have authorised the previous holidays.

No - check with ACAS, as from today we get an extra 5 days holidays not including bank holidays.

jibs

If you have had this in the past I would say no unless your company policy has changed and you have signed this.

20days a year plus bank hols is the law if you work 5 days a week. Get down to citizens advice they should be able to advice you on how to approach this with your employer. I can't remember ever seeing a job advertised with less than 20 days hol a year excluding bank hols. Type in employee rights on the internet and you'll find it there. ACAS is also a good place to contact as they are their for employees. Also you need to get a contract sorted as I believe it is illegal for an employer not to give you one.

Yes, Holidays are covered by any Federal Law. Check you employee policy manual and see.

patrona

yes they can / you are out their working for them
and they pay you / you are one employee
They are a Company of Employment
hey think that explains that you get a check from them
that pays off the Holiday..Ever Work Over Time !!
Double the Fun,, for you/ not the Company!!
