| 554344 | 2007-05-30 11:56:00 | I'll ask them for my holiday pay. Thanks, I had a read and more via Google. Its not enforceable. They asked me to leave giving me notice. I left and they didn't contact me once and I found my own job. I gone from to a totally diff industry. So, totally different. I never dealt with any of their clients directly or even via phone. Here is a question: I had to provide 5 working days if I resigned (assignments 4 weeks or longer). However, the employer does not need to provide any notice and it goes on saying notwithstanding the length of the employee's employment duration agreement. Is this law? This was temping. When I asked to leave they gave 2 weeks notice with the last day Monday, then like on the Wednesday they changed their minds and said Friday would be the last day. Was just wondering about this. |

| 554345 | 2007-05-30 12:07:00 | Holiday pay at the end of employment All holiday pay due to an employee (i.e. total entitlement less any holiday pay already received) should be paid to the employee at the time the employee leaves the job. Graham L Was this from the law? Did you study law :p On my generic agreement it says the agency reserves the right to pay holiday pay anytime 30 days after the assignment has finished. It also says the employee will have to write to the agency to get their holiday pay if they don't want to wait for another assignment. I presume the agency is working under temping contracts they assume you will be with them assignment after assignment so holiday pay is not automatically paid out :confused: |

| 554346 | 2007-05-30 12:35:00 | Hey just wondering. B/c of this clause does the old employment recruiter get any money or commission within that 6 months? Like they didn't get me a new job but someone else got one for me, can the old agency get money off the new agency saying he was mine to begin with (in that 6 months)? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 554347 | 2007-05-31 03:47:00 | The quote I gave is from this Labour Dept (www.ers.dol.govt.nz/holidays/calculate.html) publication. It might be based on regulations, or court interpretations. I can't see this in the Act. As far as I know, you can't "contract out" of the provisons of the Holidays Act. So you're entitled to holiday pay. No argument. I'm pretty sure that the Labour Dept officially takes the view that you have to be paid it. With your last pay. Not up to 30 days later. :D The Act obviously takes into account employers who might try this on: there is provision in the Act for requirement of interest to be paid as part of enforcement proceedings. Try calling the Labor Department. Winston might comment. I'm not a lawyer. ;) |

Like they didn't get me a new job but someone else got one for me, can the old agency get money off the new agency saying he was mine to begin with (in that 6 months)? That's for them to worry about but I'd be surprised if the new agency agreed to pay anything. Besides it is nothing to do with them, any arguments the old agency has are with you. And hopefully there won't be any. I can't remember just when you are entitled to holiday pay, but the normal practise is to pay it when an employee leaves, or at least within a couple of weeks. As Graham advises I'd check with the Labour Department if I were you. |
