We look at some of the frequently asked questions
that employers have about employee holiday during the COVID-19
pandemic. With holiday plans cancelled or postponed, many people
will want to save their holiday until normality returns so that
they can enjoy the trips they planned. But employers will be
anxious to ensure that holidays are taken when the business is
quiet, not when business is picking up, So how does the employer
approach the holiday issue and what are the employer's rights
during the pandemic? In particular, what are the issues around
annual leave and furlough?
If An Employee Asks To Cancel Pre-booked Holiday, Do We Have To
Agree?
One of the effects of COVID-19 has been the impact on
everyone's ability to travel, and many people have seen their
holiday plans cancelled or postponed. This has led to some
employees asking to cancel holiday that they had already booked so
they can use it at a later date.
