Annual Leave alteration

Post by Thunderthighs »

Booked - or so I thought! - al. Now found out, one of my al days changed to "day off"...
Can they do this, as it upsets my plans. ( Too complicated to go into here.)

I KNOW that it doesn't matter, in so much as I get a day off, but it conflicts with something else.

Basically, I thought that once the al request was accepted, in writing, that was it?
I'm NOT being pedantic, as I does have ramifications to me overall.
Please bear with me, I'm not going loco!
Thanks...

Whatever is on the leave sheet you got back is what you've got and they can't change it willy nilly.
That's if i've read your post right.

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.

Thanks Postman, and Yes, they did stick to my original plan/request.

Perhaps it was an "Admin error"...again...

Are you sure it has been 'changed' to a normal day off?

If you have a rolling day off, then to get a week off, you would only take five days of annual leave plus your actual day off, rather than taking six to encompass your day off as well, because your day off is, obviously, your day off.
