You shouldn't be paid for annual leave.
If you cannot come up with a suitable compromise with your manager the 3 days can be rolled through to next year.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yeah I can't see that he can pay you mate, you could maybe ask him if you can book 3 days off after xmas and then work them as overtime, managers always used to say they shouldn't do that either but I have known it to happen when they are desperate.

Not allowed. It's called 'Ghost' overtime

I believe upto 5 days leave can be carried over into the next financial year.
