Should employees have the right to take pay in lieu of holidays ?
At the end of every year there is always an argument over taking unused holiday or carrying it over until the following year, or converting holiday to pay.
Some employees need the pay more than they need their holiday entitlement, especially in the public sector where holiday entitlement has been increased instead of pay.
