They didn't notice getting paid out for all of their vacation days?

    I'm guessing it was USA and they were just lost.

    They just get lost in the UK too, most places seem pretty good about making sure you take them though.

    At the first full time job I had in Oz there were a bunch of old dudes who had each accrued over a year in untaken annual leave. The company had to crack down on it and make them start taking it because it was a huge liability, both financially and as a risk to actually getting work done. They had to develop plans for them to take it a couple months at a time.

    Gosh, I'm quite shocked at the UK. They are not ally pretty good for workers rights.

    The worker in Australia may have accrued long service leave. It's a seperate entitlement that means younger 3 months leave at once,.on top of holiday entitlement, after working somewhere for 10 years.

    Older contracts and union deals can be quite good in the UK. I would bet if this company doesn’t have a union that newer employees would be limited in the number of days they can transfer to the next year, likely less than a week.

    No no, this was multiple old guys and in addition to long service leave, they just never took leave.

    For the UK I think the policy is in support of worker rights, in a round about kind of way. If you let people pay it out then they might never take leave and won't get the benefits of actually having had a break from work.

    Won't mine don't. If you still have days they either make you take them or they pay them out, about 3 years ago I had about a week due and it was around Christmas I wanted to take the week before Christmas off but it wasn't an option and they had to pay me the days back. They were very cross about, but it was their fault for miscalculating staffing.
