buying holidays

[IloveMYredTROLLEY!]

If you want extra leave for the coming financial year starting in April, I believe TOMORROW (Sat 28th Feb) is the last day to ask to be added to the POAL register.

cheers for heads up, I better get on to it tomorrow as I moving to another office in just over a week which will see my contracted hours increase 4 hours a week when happy with my current lot so might as well see if I can put some of them ill-gotten gains to some good use.

Ive purchased extra days for about 8 years now but am thinking of stopping it. Im fed up having to have crap weeks in the winter or when the kids are at school.
only being allowed to book full weeks and no odd days.
Tempted to save the money and play the sick time game.

and with reduced income you pay less tax (I think)

Who wants to live that long?

No letter - it will appear in your pay chit - under payments for some reason

it will say something like

POAL -10.86

Do you need to request the form from your manager or can you do it online?

I just said to my manager ' I want to buy the extra holidays' he said OK I'll sort it. Next day he says 'That's it,all done, no probs'.

Easy.
