Is it something to do with the financial year. Have you just applied and there are only 4 months till next years leave starts.

you will probably find that you are buying 2 weeks at that price as your on a wallington rotation you would only buy 2 or 3 extra days it sounds mad but because you lose some days for been on that type of rotation but sure someone on here will no more

I pay £12 something a week to take my hols up from 23 1/2 days to 30.... basically 6 weeks!


You have to take into consideration that if it was in your wages you would pay tax on that so it's not as bad as it sounds! :wink:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

So the money is taken out of your wages before tax is deducted?

Yes. Basically £12 is deducted but if you were to work it you would only be around £8 better off due to tax and NI! Hope that makes sense? :hmmmm
