Ok, so fairly straightforward question. Some background info first:
I work at the coop. Have to give 4 weeks notice. I'm going on holiday at the start of august. I was hoping to give 4 weks notice half way through june, and then start my holiday and not come back afterwards.
My question is:
will they allow this? I'm worried about asking at my shop incase they become prejudiced against me. But to be fair I'm starting university this year and they knew that so it was only to be expected. I'm sure they'll be glad to be rid of me anyway .
Last year they didn't give me my holiday pay so I was a bit peeved.
They still owe my like £40 for overtime that they keep forgetting to pay me, too. Sucks a bit

And they should pay your your overtime too, tell them to shapen up.
Lol, it was overdue, I told cash office, they told me ok they'd pay it, then last paycheck, did I get it? Nope.
Last year I went on holiday during my induction period which I didnt get paid for. They still took it out of my paid holiday though *cries*
generally when ive handed notices in the past i generally say "this is my notice, but if you want me to leave now i'd be willing too" it gives em that option then, but you are still willing to do the notice if required.
as mentioned on holidays, you will only get the ones that have been acrued, not your entire holiday allowance.
i'd just keep pestering them for your overtime they owe you, you should get it eventually.
However if you take 24 hours of vacation in january and quit in february, since you have not accrued the vacation time you took, they will take take back any time you didn't earn. So if you only earned 4 of those hours, they will essentialy take out 20 hours of pay from you. If that makes any sense.
But alot of places are different, boyfriend, for example, gets 120 hours each year from Jan 1. He could take them all straight away and not be penalized. best guess would be to just either ask your supervisor/boss, or just ask somebody you work with that would know so they can tell you how your company's policies work.
say your holidays started in april, they'll probably only owe you like 3 days holiday pay up to now, not the entire years worth. because you havent earnt them.
