Sorry If I'm being a bit thick but what exactly do you mean by buying back holidays.... do you mean getting paid for leave that you're unable to take due to lack of available weeks?

No it means you can purchase extra days to take your holiday entitlement up to 6 weeks. It's taken out of your weekly pay over the year. I purchased 8 days to give me the full 6 weeks. Costs me about £9 a week.wacko74 wrote:Sorry If I'm being a bit thick but what exactly do you mean by buying back holidays.... do you mean getting paid for leave that you're unable to take due to lack of available weeks?
What have I done to deserve this?

I purchased this leave last year. Do you have to apply for it again this year or does it continue on untill you cancel it???

Re: Buy back holiday leave?
Can a request to purchase extra leave be refused? And if so on what grounds?
