honoring days off

Post by rambo1 »

I have a holiday booked which I need what used to be my old Friday Saturday off before our revision. I now have only the Saturday. Where do I stand regarding having the Friday off as my holiday was booked before the revision?

They have to honor it,have you your leaver card with the details on it?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I was on a 9 day fortnight work pattern before the revision (which they did to get rid of em). My annual leave starts on the Monday, my scheduled days off leading into it were Friday, Saturday thus giving me 10 days off. Now my work pattern has changed, my day off that week is Saturday, so I should be working Friday, but I am flying on holiday that day as I booked it when I thought it was my day off! My manager during the revision loosely said when I posed the question, that I suppose we'll have to honour it. Just wondered what the official stance would be if he decides to be awkward.
