Carried over leave

[Foxel]

I have 4.5 days owed, can you book them on the app like we were promised a while back?

You can go on the app and place a request, and then you can sit back and wait for it to be rejected. That's if your app is actually sending the request to the right person. My manager doesn't deal with leave and he gets the emails.

Like many of us, I also have an odd number of hours, 5.48. How are we meant to take that time when it is less than a day?

Been expecting this since December when it became clear we were not going to win the dispute. I've got many many hours carried over precisely because it's f***ing impossible to book it. As ever, they're making a deal out of it now that the goose has been sufficiently fattened for slaughter.

I'm tempted to just not bother turning up and tell management to take it out of my annual leave were it not for my suspicion that it'll serve as a convenient pretext to get another legacy contract off the payroll.

We have never been able to do this since it was introduced, an absolute effing joke like almost every other thing in Royal Mail.

The company is just an absolute and total joke.

Enjoy your lump sum bug try getting time of to spend it
RM will get every penny back one way or another

How are you supposed to book it when they just say no try getting a Saturday off you have to be one of the office favourites

That's what I thought, I've got about 30 hours to take and whenever I ask for a day off the answer is no and that's usually before I've even said when

Same here in our office only the managers lickspittles get days off,mostly Saturdays.

Just tell whoever sorts your leave that you are no longer willing to carry over your annual leave and will require it in the current holiday year, regardless of availability or when they can give you. You have a legal right to take your annual leave during the current leave year, it doesn’t matter that they are understaffed or are losing a million hours a day in holiday/sick.

Royal Mail can tell you when to take your leave, what they can’t do is deny you it. It’s ridiculous and sad to hear people carrying over hundreds of hours, no one seems willing to educate themselves on what they can and can’t do.

As a result I do not carry over any hours and actually owe RM a small number of hours.

Could get all those with the large chunks of hours owed to them to go and ask for the hours owed to them and when the usual "Sorry no can do we are over the limit" first reply "How come that means you have give special treatment to someone to allow that situation can I have a Grievance Form" or 2 bide your time chat to the others in the same situation and all say at the end of the year "Well I cannot carry over my hours I will be back at the start of the new Annual Leave period"

Follow up question.

Is it normal for the app not to show what days you have carried over? App says 0 yet I know and have seen a list from the COM I have 4.5 days owed

Screenshot everything pal.

I've even got some seriously dodgy 'overtime pay' 6 month payments missed.

7.50 for a single month out of the the 6 month 'average' which is an average of 40+ every other month

That’s one option.

I don’t know why people continue to post that they can’t book annual leave. Is it just easier to moan about it here? Walk in that office, tell the manager or book room you are no longer willing to carry over annual leave and so they’ll need to give you it whenever by the end of the holiday year. There’s no argument or discussion to be had. Put it in writing or an email if need be.

Bumping this.

Is it normal not to show any carry over days on the App? Anyone know??

I have just shy of a week carried over and was told that I could only book once I'd accrued a full week. I told them that was rubbish but they said "it's company policy" and refused to hear me out
