Holiday entitlement
Discussion
The other half has been told she is only allowed paid holiday after working for 3 years for the company but can take unpaid now.
Could someone confirm this is not legal.
I know checking various sites it states that holiday is accrued from the day you start working but just want confirmation there is no way they can make her wait 3 years for paid holiday.

But point 4 says that - your employer can control when you take your holiday
So does that mean they can say, actually you can't have any holiday for 10 months unless you want to take it unpaid (3 years does seem a little far in my argument)?
This was my concern.One company i worked for said 6 months before i could take holiday but that was years ago.As you say 3 years does seem quite off.But point 4 says that - your employer can control when you take your holiday

The points streaky highlights are what i was looking at.

Is this a new job?The reason I ask is that if this is not a new job and she has previously been allowed to do this, it can become part of your contract through custom by practice.

What on earth kind of job is this that completely ignores the most basic statutory requirements?
No names obviously but what industry is it, what does she do and is she even in Europe?
