All RM staff are entitled to this, just ask your Line Manager for the relevant application form, be aware though it just runs from year to year unless you cancel it :)

Case Study: Royal Mail


"Coming in and seeing their mates can be part of the recovery process, as can seeing other sick employees making progress." High-profile prize draws in 2004/05 to win cars and holidays as rewards for good attendance also helped reduce absence dramatically, although these had a limited shelf life. "Like any communication exercise it started to decay after while and made less of an impact, which is why we now focus on wellbeing programmes," adds Boorman.

It would be allocated in line with the agreement or usual arrangements in your office.
In my office you can take a maximum of 4 weeks between June - October, so any leave over
that would be allocated between October - May.

He's a part timer so it should be 3 weeks Sept and 3 weeks Jan/Feb. :left:
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
