Carrying leave into another year

Annual leave should generally be taken in the year that it is due, and the business expects all employees
to have at least four weeks away from work every year. However up to one week (or 5 odd days) may be carried
over into the next leave year, and up to five days may be anticipated during the last month of the previous
leave year. Transfer of leave in excess of these limits requires written permission from the line manager,
except that leave that cannot be taken due to sick leave may be allowed in the following year. Where this is
granted and would reduce the annual leave in a particular leave year to less than four weeks, the individual must
also confirm in writing that they are willing to voluntarily forgo their statutory leave entitlement under the Working
Time Regulations 1998.

Pickle,

If there are 'favourites' where you work who are given single days leave no problem, then you need to raise this as a grievance because you are being discriminated against. You are not being treated with 'dignity and respect'.
