I wonder if you can help. An employee of ours has been on long term sick since last May 2011 until the current time. We have now just confirmed her redundancy. She has asked a holiday related questions from which I would like clarification if possible. She did not take any holidays last year (holiday year Jan – Dec) and therefore has asked for the full entitlement of 25 days to be paid to her (even though we are now in a new holiday year). Our intention was to just pay her accrued holidays for this year. I can never be certain what the current legislative stance is on this. Does she have a right to be paid for last years holidays that she didnt take?

Thanks

Richard
