Did you know that employees now have the right to ask for statutory leave to be re-allocated to them if they were sick on their holiday?
If an employee is on holiday and then becomes ill they may be able to take this as sick leave rather than holiday. The holiday will then be reinbursed to them.
A court ruling also allows employees to carry over annual leave ruined by illness until the next year.
I recommend you make sure your Absence Policy Procedure is up to date to reflect this. Your policy should say how and when your employee should let you know when they are sick on holiday, and what proof they might need.
