i have new staff member starting but he has holidays booked for 10 days in october whats the crack regarding holiday pay am i entitled to give it him or can i say not pay until probation period completed hes coming down tmoz so would like to know what to say cheers as not sure if he expects to be paid yet
-
You still on probation ???
-
He wouldn't be entitled to anything.
-
Holiday entitlement generally "accrues", so as he's accrued nothing he won't be entitled to any yet.
-
If he's just started and he's already on the crack, best get shot now mate.
Slippery slope.
-
hahaha yess im still on probation myself for another 2 years :( :( :(
first impressions this lads decent lad very good with customers so im happy went thru jobcentre for this one

If you're his employer I'd say pay him. If you want loyalty (as we all can see you do) then be loyal to him.
If he quits later down the line without fully accruing the time in service then deduct the outstanding from his final pay packet. But make sure you explain and have it written down in his terms of employment.
You really do need to look into things like this before going and employing.
From what you say - haven't you dealt with employment before? :-/
-

Do you know anything about your job/ bussiness. That isn't a dig by the way but your flat out with these daft posts.

So he has been helping you get up and running, meeting customers, etc. So is he going to be paid for that, or is he free labour until he gets out there cleaning?
Why don't you take some time and work out what the guy's working conditions and contract will entail. When you have worked them out, make a copy of them, meet with your employee, go through them with him and each of you sign them at the same time (ie in your and his presence). Each of you should keep your own copies, then there should be no misunderstandings should a dispute arise in the future. Include such stuff as holiday entitlement/pay/duties/working hours/etc.
