UK- Can my employer force me to leave without paying me for my accumulated annual leaves?

Working for the big4. Can my employer force me to leave as soon as my project is completed? I currently have 20 annual leaves which I have not taken in the year and also have the long Christmas vacations which are also paid leaves.

When you are dismissed, you must be paid for any outstanding holiday you have built up but not taken by the termination date.
In general, the law allows employers to make employees take any remaining holiday while working their notice. The employment contract often includes a specific term setting out what the rules are here. If there is no contract term, your employer must give twice as much notice as the amount of holiday you are expected to take.
You also need to be aware of a temporary change to the law because of the coronavirus pandemic. If you missed out on taking holiday in the correct holiday year because of the effects of the pandemic, your employer must allow you to carry forward up to four weeks of that holiday into the next two holiday years. If you are dismissed without having taken this carried forward holiday, your employer must pay you for it.

Your annual leave entitlement is accrued over the year. So even if you have 20 days of leave each year, if they fire you on day one then you only get 20/365 paid out.
