I had one week off work because the place
where i worked was shut. I took it as unpaid
holiday first but i changed my mind and i
wanted to use my annual leave as i needed
monev. Can my emloyer refuse to pay me?

Well you said you took it as unpaid holiday at first and then

You changed your mind now when you changed your mind did you let them know that you changed your mind and did you get the okay that your mind was changed to do it that way

Because if they didn't know anything about it (the change)

And you did it on your own then no they don't have to pay you and you still have your time owed to you that you were trying to take it as

Yeah i let them know they haven't payed me yet, i asked them they said they will think about it. I believe they need to pay me because i can be able to take my annual leave when i want to.

The pay date is in like few weeks so it is enough time

[ohsheeT]

Is there higher ups in your company I mean is it a corporation and you're just dealing with a company right now where you work

[DaveJord]

No they can deny your leave without a justified reason, it's not a privilege it is something you earned.

No, if wages are owed to you for time worked then your employer has to pay it.

The place was shut all week last week and it was unpaid so i decided i wanted to use my annual leave and get payed im not sure if its my rights? Can they refuse and say i dont have money to pay you

[strateguy632]

they can refuse but still talk and negotiate politely.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t know talk to the Better Business Bureau or the labor board

[Jmmmfi4]

Depends on the company policy I suppose
