Can an employee go on holiday when they are on sick leave, and if so, what are we supposed to pay them? Martin Brewer and Esther Smith advise.
The question: Holiday on sick leave?
An employee on long-term sick leave (work-related stress) obviously accrues his/her holiday entitlement during this absence. However, during this time if the employee actually went away on holiday for two weeks how would you treat this? Allow to accrue and take the two weeks at the end of the sick leave, pay out or just note they were signed off sick but annual leave was taken which had been requested before they actually went off sick. Any advice?
