If you have been IHR'd then any holidays owed will be paid to you in your lump sum.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

Not necessarily so...outstanding holidays have nothing to do with lump sum (34 weeks) + pay in leiu. ...the company like you to use your holidays.....was told I need to chase this up with my line manager...

HR are completely clueless.
When I was sacked (wrongfully) they said I wasn't entitled to any untaken accrued holiday pay as I was summary isms missed. :left:
No matter what you are entitled by employment law to this......unless you owe them money

Clearly script fed

Your line manager might play dumb or fob you off.
