Working whilst on annual leave

Post by celerycelery »

What can be done if anything about poeple working their holiday week so in theory are getting paid double? Mate said he would work his day off last week (they were not on a/l) but was told they were not needed yet found out they have phoned up someone on a/l to come in instead.

You're paid double whether you work your day off or work on annual leave - not much difference. :Very Happy

The Way Forward Agreement is quite clear that you cannot attend for work during your annual leave.
So either the rep uses the IR framework to ensure the national agreement is adhered to, and if that isn't an option you e-mail Moya and ask one of her team to sort it.
Though you have to be sure they are working their annual leave and not simply changing their holiday dates.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Is operational needs or failing the USO a reason to allow this to happen? Plenty work either the week or odd days whilst they are on holiday.

No.
If there aren't enough staff to cover the duties it's hardly your problem.
You're on holiday :cuppa

Cant see the problem if people want to work whilst on hols. In this job sometimes earning a bit extra is needed.
After all if you DONT want to work while on hols they dont make you do they?

The problem is we have a national agreement that says you can't do it. Either we have national agreements or we don't.
If we want to play fast and loose with the ones we don't like, then nobody should complain when the managers ignore the ones they don't like.
It's all or nothing and not a pick and mix.

I'm on leave this week. I'm on a 24 hour contract (3 days a week) , I am not contracted to work Tuesdays or Fridays.

If I wanted to work in my office or another on the Tuesday or Friday, could I?
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.
