at the moment, we have 1 spring week, 2 summer weeks, and 1 winter week - the same as most offices i'd imagine.
so thats 4 weeks, plus 3-4 days as well as any days you get back for your day off falling on a bank holiday etc.
theres a bit of confusion in our office as to whether people are allowed to just 'cancel' their 4 weeks off and take every other fri/sat off thoughout the year instead. trying to get a straight answer on this is impossible. we have a revision coming up, and needless to say, if this practice is allowed, then its going to lead to loads of aggro if some people are forced to take their blocks of holidays whereas others can get more time off at the weekends. so whats the rules?
