Holiday pay while sick

Monday, 15 March 2010 00:00

One of our local manufacturing clients has experienced an unsettling claim for holiday pay back to 2005 from an employee who had been long term sick and had brought a personal injury claim against them.

The injury claim had dragged on through insurers and, although the employee had indicated he considered his employment over, it was not until after the injury claim was ultimately settled that he was finally sent his P45. We fought the claim on the basis of European Law and it was dismissed.
