holiday entitlement, different ways.??

[ibizaboy]

in my old job the holiday year was april to march, with 28 days entitlement. ive had 12 of those days and now ive changed job.
in my new job there holiday year is jan to dec. with this company ive just had 5 days, therefore totalling 17 so far this year. i have 4 more booked in november then thats it, a new holiday year starts in jan. so i will have only had 21 of my 28 days.
am i to presume i lose the other 7 as a new holiday year starts with my new job.?
i feel cheated. thanks.

Your holiday entitlement should be worked out pro-rata with your new employer.

E.g. if you are entitled to 28 days a year and you join the company half way through the year, you would be entitled to half of the 28 days.

Have you asked your new employer what holiday entitlement you have left? They may also be able to "roll over" some of your outstanding holidays instead of you losing it.

No you shouldn't have lost any days.

Assuming it is the same 28 days entitlement with the new employer, you can ignore who your employer is or was at any particular point of your employment - just concentrate on the time period.

You say that in the 9 months (Apr-Jan) you will have taken 21 days.
...or 3/4 of a year = 21 days

21 days over 9 months is pro rata 28 days over 12 months.
