Leave During Notice Period
I became involved in a discussion recently about a young guy who had given notice to his employer that he was leaving, but was told by his employer to take his accrued annual leave during his notice period. The idea being that they then didn't have to pay out his untaken annual leave. However, the employee did not want to do this, he wanted to work out his notice period and be paid out for his accrued leave.
I had made an assumption that it was illegal to force someone to do this, but does anyone know for sure what the legal situation is regarding this under the FWA?
