Re: holiday entitlement
The new PSP thingy puts it in hrs now apparently if it's up and running in your office.
Start......22.5days
5 years...23.5 days
15 years..26 days
20 years..30 days
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.

so it is 4 weeks 2.5 days then an extra day then 5 weeks and then 6 weeks. The PSP system does do it in hours though

Re: holiday entitlement
No....POSTMAN is right...it's 26 days after 15 years service.merrers1985 wrote:after 15 years you get 25 days not 26.
Says so in the Way Forward....
On entry = Four and a half weeks
After 15 years = Five weeks 1 day
After 5 years = Four weeks 3.5 days
After 20 years = Six weeks
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Re: holiday entitlement
it changes on the park n loop system though. im currently on 23 days(just under 20yrs service) it used to be 26 days or 5 weeks 1 day. but because we work longer days(8hrs 50min) we loose 3 days. ive asked our branch about this, they say it should be 23 and a half. so im sure they are fleecing people of a half a day each year. people with 20yrs get 6 weeks or 30 days but this is reduced to 27 because of the longer days. but they should be on 27 and a half. again robbed of a half a day. this is all mounting up in rm favour, but nowt seems to be done about it.fishtank wrote:No....POSTMAN is right...it's 26 days after 15 years service.merrers1985 wrote:after 15 years you get 25 days not 26.

''

These entitlements are expressed in weeks and days, with a week’s leave being a whole week irrespective of how many attendances are due. A half week’s leave is a number of odd days equal to half the average number of weekly attendances due. Any balance of entitlement to odd days represents that number of daily attendances, except where a (full- or part-time) job requires three or fewer attendances per week, in week case the balance of odd days entitlement is reduced pro-rata to a five day week, rounded to the nearest half day (e.g. the entitlement for a three-day week employee with 5 years service is 4 weeks 2 days).''
longer days has nothing to do with it, its number of days. so if ur 20years service ppl are getting 27days then i assume your average number of days per week is 4.5. so your on a 9 day fortnight or the 1 in 4 weeks off. both = an average of 4.5 days and 4.5days X 6 weeks = 27days a/l. i suppose another way to look at it would be to convert the days to decimals of the 5 day working week its calculated from, so obviously a half week is 0.5 weeks, 3.5days is 0.7 weeks, and 1 day is0.2 weeks, so now u can just multiple your average weekly attence in days by either 4.5,4.7,5.2 or 6.then of course round it to the nearest half day.
of course i may be wrong with all the psp changes but surly if psp changes our holiday entitlement amounts(not just converts it) we should have had that clearly explained to us and it to have been agreed by the union nationally.
