holiday entitlement

[royzart]

Hi...I was recently off work sick for about 9 weeks
in total but just wondered if i was still entitled to my
holidays that i already booked before i was ill.
I have been with my employers now for 10 years

thank you

http://www.direct.gov...dholidays/DG_10034711 And I quote

"In light of a recent European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling, the following is applicable if you become ill during your holiday or just before you were due to take it. You can ask to convert the period of holiday concerned to sick leave and ask to take the missed annual leave at a later date."

That's the main sentence, read the link further for any more details

Yes you most certainly can. A friend had a problem with her employer over this and the very next day, this article was on the BBC news.
