Annual leave

Post by VansFortress »

Hi, looking for some clarity regarding annual leave if possible please. Seem to be getting nowhere with managers. I work 30 hours over 3 days and my entitlement is 14 days (4 weeks off plus 2 extra days). When do the 2 extra days get put on to the annual leave sheet? Is it from January 1st or is there a specific date that annual leave cards get updated? I'm trying to book annual leave for later in the year but I need those extra 2 days, however I cant book it yet because they're not on my leave card yet. Cheers

How do you do 30 hours over three days? I assume that's in a mail centre rather than delivery?

The extra days are part of your annual entitlement so they should be on the leave card immediately.

What they may be saying, and I dont agree with it, is that they aren't doing the left over days until everyone has picked their full weeks . But all leave should be picked by the end of October.

If your leave card is the type printed from PSP then at the bottom right of the leave box it will tell you how many hours you have left to take in the current year. The hours are actually there but just not allocated to a particular time. It's difficult to allocate these odd days especially if there are a lot of people who don't buy up their leave but not impossible.
