leave carried over

Post by venom »

at my office the dim has been putting a block on holidays( not already booked before) and cut the amount of people per week to be allowed off from around sept .so now there are a lot of people with holidays to take but no available space .is there any documents to say how much leave you can carry over or your entitlement to take them this tax year,also because of the amount of leave allowed each week next year is virtually full.thanks

It's supposed to be one week but the manager can allow more for 'operational' reasons, I'm carrying 4 weeks over as are a lot of others in the office.

He shouldn't be able to do that unchallenged,has he been challenged?
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.

You have a holiday agreement,he can't just waltz in and change it,operational difficulties? how does he know what is happening in Sept.
Obviously you know he's having you on,rep needs to put a dissagreement in and also contact the area rep.

Not an uncommon occurance, and by the time the union's gone through all the procedures towards a tribunal the leave year's finished and there's no choice but for nearly everyone to carry forward two or more weeks into the next year. :sad:

And by the time next year comes around there'll be another 2 weeks added to the leave :roll: but I suppose that's the RM way, why sort out today when you can put off until the next year.

"today" :shock: Because you, and the union, can't sort it out in a day, a week or even a month. :sad:
These's things drag on and aren't resolved before the next leave year. :sad:
