Re: days off at xmas and new year
no my point is not what days we are off over christmas but
there is a rumour that in the week leading up to the 24th
we will not be allowed our days off( in that week )and that we have to work them to make our hours up
IS THIS RIGHT ?

Re: days off at xmas and new year
Nar that's not right, last december we still got our normal days off with the chance to if we wanted to work them, it'll be the same again this yr. There is nee way in hell am working 6 days a week leading upto xmas, especially cos it wud'nt be fair cos some guys at my office work 6 days a week for six weeks then have a week off so if that was to happen we would be working extra than them. X-mas, boxing day and new yrs day are all paid holidays same with all bank holidays. And if we were to work bank holiday we would have to get time and a halfhappymackem wrote:no my point is not what days we are off over christmas but

Re: days off at xmas and new year
It would be impossible to have everyone working their day off in the week running up to Xmas.
Staffing levels will be at a maximum as no AL over the pressure, so having everyone in to do what exactly???
That would be 7 men/women in my office in twiddling their thumbs as all duties will be covered.
