My company credits each employee with 20 days at the start of the year. Effectively, they are not earned until the end of the year. If an employee resigns before the end of the year and has used more days than accrued, can a company legally demand repayment for those days?

yes but if you have already been paid it and they cannot deduct it from your final wage then it would cost them too much to recover it and they generally dont bother. technically they could go to county court to recover it

They can, and almost always will. You'll find any discrepancies in annual leave will be taken into account in the final wage. If you'd used less leave than you were entitled to you would be paid for it.
There is a calculator at the link below so you can check when you get your payslip that your employer isn't deducting too much.

if you are credited with the 20 days at the beginning of the year then they cannot make you pay back the money as it is payment for the holidays that you are entitled to. In fact a lot of companies will pay the remainder of your entitlement if you work your full notice

Yes, it can be done on a pro-rata basis....
Say you are entitleed to 24 days in the year
You resign after 4 months but have taken 10 days off
they can claim back 2 days pay
If you leave, they can ask for it back, deducting from your final pay.
If you are made redundant, they dormally forget it

Absolutely!
Some companies require you to work a minimum of 6-months before allowing you to take annual-leave..many require you to work 12-months before taking leave.
Whilst I don't think those policies are entirely fair, I do agree with a companies right to deduct leave taken in advance when someone leaves.

Yes he certainly can the same as an employee being paid for leave not taken when they leave. Its a fair rule that is applicable to both sides

Yes they can. The annual leave entitlement will be pro-rated for the year and the outstanding days will be claimed back in the equivalent rate of pay

Yes they can....it happened to me once and i was deducted 13 days from my final salary. I was awarded 13 days when i started and i worked for 6 months for them. They even made me wait after my notice before paying me three weeks later by cheque! instead of BACS into my bank.

Generally a company will deduct any payments from the last pay slip

Yes they can, or if not taken they can either pay you for them or ask you leave the company earlier to use them.
