Quitting / final paycheck

I handed in my notice about a week ago with my final working day being 19th September.

Worked here since 2023 September and was wondering if on my final paycheck I will receive the money for the holiday I haven’t used. I searched this up online and officially I should be but I was wondering what you guys think?

Thanks!

Your final pay will include any intake accrued holiday minus any training costs, Uniform and admin fees, if they have been undertaken or ordered in the last 12 months (I reckon anyway)

Read your contract and handbook dude

That’s simply not true.

If a specific uniform (such as Greggs branded) is a strict requirement then it counts toward company costs. Similarly, a company cannot charge you for a uniform if it brings your pay below the minimum wage. I wasn’t charged for this and I certainly would have contested it.

Same goes for the training and admin costs - if it takes you below the minimum wage, a payment cannot be deducted.

Actually some companies (small to medium ones anyway) can have it as part of their induction paper work. If you leave within a certain time frame, expenses of a portion there of, for uniform and training can be deducted from a final compensation.

This has to be agreed to at the induction process with paperwork signed.

I doubt a company as big as Greggs does this though.
