i think your holiday entitlement only goes to when you went off sick, i.e. you can't accur holidays while on the sick. so if you went off sick in oct that's 6mths (apr-oct) 3wks i think that's how it works.

goodluck

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that employees on long-term sick are entitled to take all holiday they have accumulated.

Judges ruled that under the Working Time Regulations, holiday continues to accrue while an employee is off sick, bringing a long running saga over holiday accrual closer to a conclusion.

The ruling in the case of Stringer and others v HM Revenue and Customs means employees can accrue statutory holiday pay while off sick, receive payment in lieu of unused holiday entitlement at the end of the employment and carry over any unused holiday at the end of the year.
