Re: Extra week leave
I have the basic holiday entitlement and have increased it to the maximum 6 weeks. Costs about £12 per week so £620 a year and worth every penny!
It is cheaper if you have been there over 15 years, 20 years, etc as you need to buy less days!

Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Re: Extra week leave
2% of your weekly pay for every full week of extra holiday so 3% if you want to make your holiday entitlement to 6 weeks

Re: Extra week leave
As long as there's a leave vacancy in your group, you can have as many weeks off as you like. Just get a special leave form, and request a week off unpaid. As I said, unless there's no vacancy in your group they can't refuse, and they're happy as they're saving a weeks pay. I usually have at least 8 weeks off a year. 6 weeks annual leave, plus 2 unpaid. Can't beat having more time off than our "hard working" managers!
