Can a manager buy leave?
Are manager allowed to buy leave, or are they automatically entitled to extra leave? We have a new manager that seems to be off all the time, but has only been with the business a few years?

If he is fairly new they'll be sending him on all sorts of development courses. However, I have no idea if they get extra leave, or if they can get POAL like we do.

& I assume no one knows as you can't answer. I just wondered how many weeks are they entitled to?

Some areas allow managers to accrue toil so by working extra hours he may be bulking up his leave allowance

Maybe they farm him/her out to other offices as they are short of managers for bullying? sickness with stress? or don't know their arse from their elbow? or training how to bully?Boydieboydie wrote:Are manager allowed to buy leave, or are they automatically entitled to extra leave?

Re: Can a manager buy leave?
Yes there is a sliding scale process though,
1.'encourage' someone to take their lapsing although they haven't got time = 1 day.
2. 'Accidentally' pay less overtime than Postie's have booked = 2days.
3. Successfully get someone back off sick and on to full duties before they've even recovered = an extra week !
