Weeks Holiday (Really Dumb question)

Post by SF »

So I've booked a week off for next week.

Do I get 5 days off and a day for my rotational day off, or just 5 days off in total.

I assumed I would be off Monday though to Sunday until my girlfriend questioned me on.

LOL If you are on a 5 day week,then 5 days will come off your holiday allowance.And you will have the whole week off,Mon-Sat.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Bank Holiday next week is'nt it? so if you are off the whole week you should get the Monday back.
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

no you are wrong the system automatically gives you the day back if you are off on a bh week

so it is already included in your a/l from when it was booked
