Post by Stella102 »

Do you have to have worked for RM for more than a year to buy extra holiday?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so - but there is a cut off date of the end of Feb for the following year.

You can buy extra up until 6 weeks per year, so for a new start it'll be an extra 2 weeks a year.

When you pay for extra holiday should it show up in 'Deductions' on your pay slip?
