Most employers pay full salary during sickness for a period that is determined by your length of service. This could then drop to half pay if the period is exceeded, and then ultimately lead to dismissal (based on being unfit to work). However the law gives you a lesser amount for sick pay, and some small employers will not pay you whilst you are sick, and expect you to claim sick pay from the DWP - see the webpage below (1). As others have said, you will need to check your contract of employment - even if you have no formal contract, you still have a legal right to a written statement of employment particulars (2), which include sickness and holiday arangements, and you should have them already. You didn't state the basis of your pay (e.g. annual salary, weekly wage, hourly rate), but the deduction of 13 hours (36-23) seems odd, and not linked to anything obvious.
I hope this helps.

As far as I know, sick leave should not affect holiday at all if you are on a permanent contract. If you are entitled to 20 days paid leave then sick leave should not come out of this. If the holiday scheme was changed then you should have had to sign another contract. However if you take more than 7 days off work for illness then you have to submit a doctors' note to your employer. Best thing to do if you think you've been shortchanged is to go to the Department of Trade and Industry website where they have loads of information on employment law: www.dti.gov.uk

It will depend on your contract and any other instruments which effect your employment (such as legislation or other rules) but as a general rule, sick leave is awarded on top of annual leave.
This means that having days off work sick will not take up any of your annual leave, as long as you don't use up more than the permitted amount of sick days per year (usually about 10).
If your holiday scheme changes, yes you should be notified by your employer.

Strangely enough he is right, but its not been normal practice in the UK...unlike the US. There is no entitlement to sick leave in law that means your employer has to pay you. Infact the law is that the State makes up your pay within certain guidelines.
So by stating that your sick leave is to come off your holiday time he is right...more people are about to find this issue affecting them. See your Trade Union.

you should still get your full holiday entitlement no matter how many days off sick you have. i have had two months off sick from work in the past (not consecutively) and this didn't affect my holiday entitlement at all.
check with your human resources department like other people have said. if your boss is behaving badly then they need to deal with him and not you.

Your union steward or Personel office is the place to go. Even if 300 YA people said you get the 36 hours, and you printed them ALL, your boss can tell you to use the print-out to wipe your bum.

To right he should [tell/consult with you]. And I'm not sure what he's done is kosher either. You have an annual entitlement - it cann't be jiggered around with without a) notification and b) good reason.

most companies allow a certain number of sick days a year, once you go over that number (which you certainly did) some companies will subtract the additional days from vacation.
