Do you still have annual holiday leave left?

If you have annual holiday leave days left when your employment is about to end, you can take them during the period you are still employed by the employer. If you cannot take the time off during the remainder of your employment, any outstanding days must be paid out as supplementary holiday pay. Annual holiday leave days cannot be lost, and the employer does not have the right to allocate your annual holiday leave to specific days without your consent.

If your employer tries to force you to take holiday leave retroactively or when you are actually working, contact your local Saco-S association or academics’ association for help and advice.
