Holidays

Post by postghost »

Been with RM for 8 months now part time contract 25 hrs per week

Took 1 weeks holiday at beginning of year.

Any other time I have asked for holidays, its been a case of "sorry - too busy that week"
Only just found out today that the holiday year ends in 4 days!!!!

Can I carry my holidays forward or just have them paid on a forthcoming wage?

Thanks in advance

Officially only 1 week can be carried over. If your manager offers you the chance to carry over more then make sure it's in writing and your rep is there too. Your manager won't pay them, I'll guarantee you that!

Ask for a `Holiday` entitlement form for the last week of this year, and ask for another 1st week in April, and make sure any due holidays have been carried forward.
