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.

Yeah the company I worked for let you shift 5 but you had to take them within the first 3 months

Yeah this happened to me as a Kiwi living in the UK. First job over there. My boss just let me take them, even though they had all expired.
What a champ!
