if you're absolutely certain that you want to get married consider taking unpaid leave.

Put a greivence in against your manager stating that you are being discriminated against for being full time and send it directly to your DSM also speak to your union rep

When i got married i had to use annual leave, even though people before, and after me got paid special leave. Office favourites spring to mind!

yep - unfair treatment.postmanplod wrote:Put a greivence in against your manager stating that you are being discriminated against for being full time and send it directly to your DSM also speak to your union rep
make sure you put everything in writing and keep copies.
write requesting the dates off - include the reason why you need it off and also the fact you are willing to take different options - A/L or unpaid leave.
you'll need the written reply before you can act on the official answer.

This goes down and i'm not sure how to word it properly but it's a situation where you get preference.
When i got married when i picked my holidays i told my DOM about it and he said don't worry because of the occasion i was guaranteed to get it.
But not sure what you should do tbh as you've left it late.

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.

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

Re: THEY WONT GIVE ME A/L FOR MY WEDDING DAY
I would try doing an' ASK ADAM', someone at my office needed a four week block a/l the boss said no ,so the postie emailed ASK ADAM explaining the situation that they were going to India and that they wanted to visit their relatives who were spread over India so they needed the four week a/l.After about two weeks,the resourcing manager granted the a/l.I found out from one of the posties who work in the bookroom,that someone from the Chairmans office rang the resourcing manager and basicaly told him to stop being a prick and grant the a/l.This is not the first time that doing an ASK ADAM has made management at our office change unreasonable decisions they have made.door2door wrote:IVE JUST BOOKED A LATE DEAL FOR MY WEDDING,IVE MANAGED TO GET THE WEEK OFF FOR HONEYMOON BY SWAPPING A WEEK HOLS WITH A COLLEGUE AT WORK......HOWEVER EVEN THOUGH MY BIG DAY IS FRI 24TH SEPT 13 WEEKS AWAY MY BOSS IS SAYING I CANT HAVE MY OWN WEDDING DAY OFF OR THE DAY AFTER!!!!!!!
