What if someone goes off sick during their authorised holidays?
This is now a grey area. If you already convert holiday to sickness this would continue. If you don’t; wait to see how case law develops before conceding anything additional. Q: We have always been told that it was “use it or lose it” when an employee was sick at the end of the leave year. Answer: The “Stringer” case changes this and you can no longer rely on this arrangement.
