Unauthorised absence & Special leave

[twoloops]

I wanted a last minute week off, my manager said it was full, said i'll take it without pay, when I came back nothing was said & I ended up getting paid anyway & used no holidays jobs a gooden

Hi
I have a related issue..
I have a BH day in lieu for which they have refused to allow me to take on a day of my choosing, claiming they have too many people off.
If I was to tell them I am taking it anyway, will they conduct me despite its leave I am entitled to. If they did conduct me could it result in the sack or just a warning. I assume if they conduct me then I would still have the day in lieu available.
really appreciate any answers. Thanks.

They will only offer a day off that week if it is available an if you say they have too many off then they wont allow it.would say a massive risk if you go ahead an take it.prob do you with going AWOL.

Not sure where you are getting it being a massive risk from pal?? You are making it out like the guy is a criminal or something, which they clearly aren't

Its a massive risk as they could lose there job?

Totally agree. It is abandonment of duty and a serious breach of your contract of employment.

That is Gross Misconduct and a dismissal offence.
