But there's good news too - thanks to the way holiday pay works you can actually get a pay boost for taking leave. Acas' official guidance reads: "Furloughed workers must get their usual pay in full, for any holiday they take." "Employees or workers who are temporarily sent home because there’s no work ('furloughed workers'), can request and take their holiday in the usual way, if their employer agrees. It adds workers can also "carry over holiday if they’ve been 'furloughed' and cannot reasonably use it in their holiday year". But while bosses can say no to a specific holiday request, they absolutely can't refuse to let you take leave at all.
