I have an employee who has been long term sick on several occasions over a number of years. What are the implications?
Theoretically, they may be able to claim for up to six years but please take urgent advice from us. Q: We have no provision for “carry forward” of holidays in our terms and conditions. If an employee who was long term sick did not ask to take holidays in that year and it’s now a later leave year, do we have to pay them? Answer: Another grey area! You may not have to pay but please take urgent advice from us.
