special leave

Post by tonyhendrix »

I am moving my 73 year old mother from london to scotland and a month ago asked for one week leave, found out today it had been granted all unpaid, even thou i have two days outstanding leave to use up, been told i can't use that against leave because of budget , not a happy bunny

First off, budget isn't your problem. Second, if you're off, what difference does it make? Get the Rep in to have a word. At the end of the day, you will still have to take the 2 days off at some point. Think your manager is being a tit.
Sometimes, I wish I wasn't a Rep.
