Xmas Day a SERVICE DAY...!

Post by KyzaSoze »

Anybody else on a long weekend next week??? Our REP hasn't a clue whats happening as to whats happening - i.e If its your day off next SAT & MON then the Saturday is a Service day and we lose it... So whats happens to everyone else thats off during the week and gets their day off does that mean they owe RM a day back??? I may be wrong but thats due to us being in the dark about it... And if we lose next Sat is that Legal as am pretty sure it must be given back as a DAY IN LIEU...?

I can't remember exactly where it is, but RM HAVE confirmed there will be NO SERVICE until Tuesday 29th December.

*in edit* I'm probably the worst person to tell you that, as I have that week off on AL - I will try and find the link*

you dont get a day in lieu for the saturday only the monday, thats just the way it is, they could make us work if they wanted. So by not getting a day back your not actually losing out cos you still get your long weekend you just seem bitter cos everyone else gets the saturday off too.

Being a reserve I normally have Tuesdays off but this week Saturday is my day off :roll:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Yes you get a day in lieu.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
