Ok, I've looked on oasis.gov.ie and I can't find the info I want.
Basically, I was working part-time (clearly, not so I could get through college but so I could buy drink to get me through college...it's been proven...anyway long story.) So I left recently and waited on my p45 and a cheque to arrive (the cheque being for my first week's pay, which they withold til you leave. Fair enough). Now I'm certain that I'm entitled to Holiday Pay for the period since my last holidays to the time I left (about 3 months). But the cheque I got today is just the first week's pay, and nothing else. Now, I want to ring up and eat the head of them coz I know they're probably just not being forthcoming in the hope that I'll forget all about it. Coz I know what they're like, and they're pricks. However, I don't want to be overly assertive without being 100pc clear on my rights.
I've gotten a sum of holiday pay before, at the end of other part-time employments. The thing is I'm not sure if that's just a goodwill gesture on the other employters' part or if it's my legal entitlement. yunno?
Surely for every 8 hours i worked since my last hols (start of September) til I left (end of November) I should get 1 hour's pay. Yeah?
Me head is bleedin wrecked. It's all very clear for full-time work but very hazy for the part-timers. Can any of you fine men and women give me an answer that's in any way conclusive.
(Also, a friend of mine left the job a week before me and so got his cheque earlier. He's having precisely the same problem and keeps getting fobbed off. So this game-playing is standard practice with them. Bastards.)
Please and thank you,
F
