Notice, Sick leave & Holidays

[KDA man]

If a staff member have been on 8 weeks unpaid sick leave, then gives one months notice and is certified unfit to work during this notice period....

1. Is he entitled to be paid for his notice period?
2. Has he accrued holiday's during his absence?
3. Is his notice period affected by his sick leave?

Depends on the terms of his contract, if his employer doesn't pay sick leave, I would have thought the fact that he is in his notice period is irrelevant

1) No (presuming he is still out sick)
2) Not sure
3) No

 

[KDA man]

Thank you, I think 2 is probably a "No" also.

Sick leave does not count towards time accrued for holidays.

Sick leave does not count towards time accrued for holidays.

It does for the company I work for, I am currently on sick leave, have been for 9 weeks, during this time any holidays I had previously booked during this time off has been cancelled and I get these days back to retake as annual leave upon my return. My annual leave entitlement is unaffected by period of sick leave.

You must be very sick, I hope you feel batter soon.

This may be so for you, however legally, sick leave is not counted as time worked for holiday accrual. The only exception to this is if an employee has worked for example 9 months out of 12 and has been on sick leave for the remaining 3 months. If they completed at least 1365 hours work, they are still entitled to their full holiday entitlement. But this is only in effect if the employee has been in employment with the company for a full holiday year and not if they leave part way through the year.
