it's illegal to work during anual leave. you probably wouldnt be insured. i have seen people work one of their anual leave days, and the phg's would keep quiet about it

As part of The Way Forward

Taking Leave
Employees may not attend the office whilst on annual or other leave. This means that employees may not attend the office to work overtime or Scheduled Attendance.
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

People are reguraly asked in our office to work days in their AL and they actually do it.
That is one thing that I will definately not be doing no matter how much I need the money.

the sheer bloody arrogance of RM over-rides any point, clause, local or National Agreement as and when it suits them .. which is why we are in such a mess now!

Some parts are still in force, while others have been superceeded by The Pay and Modernisation Agreement. As far as I'm aware, that part still stands.
