Buying annual leave

Post by jason1984 »

Hi, joined the royal mail last june and wanted to buy an extra weeks holiday for the coming holiday year but was told you have to be with them for a year to do that, is that true? How much notice do you need to give if you want to buy an extra week, is the cut off this month? Thanks for any help!

Apply via your line manager by February 28th.
Think you do have to be employed for a specific time period first, though can't say how long.
A phone call to HR will answer all your questions.
