Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
I understand the non paid leave matter, to is good to see an employer offer such a possibility.
They do have the cannot start a business venture or take employment, clause.
If you take on a new position whist on unpaid leave, you will be in breach of the employment and your employer could treat that as gross misconduct and dismiss you.
The dismissal may not cause a problem for you as you would have the new job, but, youmwould any possibility of redundancy.
Sorry there was a typo, yes if you are dismissed you would loose redundancy.
If you resign, and are working your notice period, then you would still receive redundancy if the employer ended your employment during your notice period as you are still an employee.
A sensible employer would simply not make you redundant if you have already served your notice to leave and just let you go at the end of the notice thus saving redundancy pay.
Can I assist or clarify anything further?
Firstly it is up to the employer if they allow the holiday to be taken, they can refuse and pay you what is due when you leave.
Yes you can take on a new or second job whilst on holiday, unless the contract states no second job.

If you resign as an employee during the consultation period, then your resignation would be treated as a simple resignation like at any other time, you would not be entitled to ask for redundancy payment, as you would not be being made redundant, you would have resigned.
In fact by resigning you would be saving the employer possible redundancy payment.
