Print out agreement about civil partnership / wedding leave then give it to union rep.

They will argue his wedding time off is not in question it's the honeymoon after.

Had a reply from union today, old agreement does not apply anymore but royal mail do give you a week off as a good will gesture. He,s now going to ring DSM and sort it out so fingers crossed.

Getting married in 2 weeks time, management knew about this in january. Just wanted a week off after the wedding to go on honeymoon, finally been told by my manager that that week is unavailable and can,t have that week off. Thanks royal mail for making my wedding a memorable one, bloody joke.

why didnt you book it as annual leave ? did you think you get extra time off like paternity leave ?

[chrisj]

I booked a day off from my annual leave many months ago. Fair enough, manager said there was no vacancy but gave me all same as I have some many outstanding days and rarely gets a saturday and other reasons like covering their ass when they are short.

Now manager is again short of staff as medium/long term absence growing, he now says that the holiday we agreed on was a day off swap. I disagreed but was not going to argue too much as I have what I wanted, But managers and RM are rather dubious!

I bet when I get my holiday print out, that day will have been deducted from my outstanding hols- I saw him do on the spreadsheet, I will wait and catch him out soon by asking for the printout.

What happened was i didn,t propose until christmas day and by then most of my entitlement had been booked but still had enough to book the week off i wanted but someone else in my holiday group had booked it.

I've already got a BH day in lieu credited to me and it is months away from actually happening yet.
I always get it sorted ASAP, and if they try saying "I'll do it later", I say do it now, and print out a copy of my leave card for me. Got it in black and white then, no disputes or expiring deadlines etc.
Some of your line managers make mine look pretty good, even though they are an absolute prick.

If you hadn't started your leave selection by Christmas then your office isn't following the Way Forward agreement:

The leave year will be April to March. The Christmas pressure period, determined by the operational unit, will be a closed period for leave. The selection process should be complete by the end of the preceding October each year.
