Holiday whilst on maternity leave....

[rachlou83]

I am currently on ML and getting SMP. My 39 weeks are up at the end of March. My company's holiday year runs from May to April. If I go on to additional maternity leave I will miss out on five days holiday as the holiday year will roll over. Can I carry those days over. Is there any legislation regarding this?

Thanks

It's usually at managers discretion I think.

Legally they either have to roll your holiday over or pay you for it, you can't loose holiday due to being on maternity leave.

^ WSS but usually if in your situation they encourage you to take it as the start of your ML.
