they make it up as they go along, our holiday pick wasn';t even halfway done in May this year, the year already having started 2 months previous, despite the manager's promises that he'd get it sorted the previous Oct....

To your q, I think Oct is the time they try to do it....

But your holidays, your time off, the time you might need to spend with your kids off school etc, they don't give a flying fck.....
