ODD DAYS OFF

[PhilthyPhil]

In our office the first 3 weeks must be taken as whole weeks. The fourth week can be split 3/3 or 2/4. Any days left after this can be booked whenever we want provided there are available slots :)

You are still expected to give as much notice as possible when booking an odd day off.

But they still tell you the day before that you can't have it.

Then as far as I can tell they are breaking the law.

If you want to take holiday
You must give your employer advance notice that you want to take holiday. This notice should be at least twice as long as the amount of holiday you want to take. For example, you should give two weeks' notice for one week's holiday.

Your employer can refuse permission for your holiday as long as they give you notice which is at least as long as the holiday requested. So to refuse a request for a week's leave, they would have to tell you a week in advance.

Your contract may set out other rules about when you can take your holiday. This is allowed so long as the rules don't effectively prevent you from taking holiday at all.

As I read this if you want 1 days holiday you must give them 2 clear days (Eg apply Monday for Thursday off) and they must tell you its refused at least 1 clear day before your day (Eg Tuesday).
