A common question employers face when an employee is leaving the workplace is, ‘Can I use my holiday entitlement during my notice period?’ While losing a team member can be challenging, especially after investing in their growth, it’s important to understand the guidelines around holiday entitlement during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Before addressing questions about annual leave, it’s important to know how much holiday an employee has taken and how much they have remaining. Some staff might not use their full holiday entitlement<\/a>, so it’s crucial to check their remaining leave and determine if you can require them to use it during their notice period.

Handling leave during an employee\u2019s notice period requires careful management to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to business operations. During this time, it is crucial to clearly communicate and enforce company policies regarding leave requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
