Furlough

Ange

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has advice on an employee being furloughed and told that they will not accrue holiday during the period?

I've seen on a couple of websites, including xperthr, that holiday is accrued during furlough, however I can't find any Gov guidelines around this. 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks

  • Is the ability to carry over leave for 2 years applicable to those on furlough, I haven’t seen anything that gives clear guidelines who it applies to?

    Also, the advice I’ve received is we can instruct employees that they need to take their accumulated leave whilst on furlough, avoiding large balances when they return.

    IN reply to Helen - Re Furlough and compulsory holidays - I have heard that you can provide notice to employees that they are required to take annual holidays during furlough. If proper notice is given, employees cannot refuse to take these holidays. Operationally it is going to be impossible to give employees any holidays at all after the furlough has finished. This issue doesn't go away even if employees are permitted to carry over holidays for 2 years. Does anyone have a template letter for this or further information?
