do you get more holidays?

[Rage24]

after so many years service? sure i heard this mentioned in the past somewhere?

[IloveMYredTROLLEY!]

1 extra day for full timers from the April after doing 5 years service.

An extra week after 15 or 20 years.

After longer still, on get the maximum 6 weeks total as standard, without needing to pay weekly POAL deductions.

You can get 6 weeks holidays every year if you pay for the extra. I'm on a 29 hour 20 min contract and it costs me about £9 per week. Well worth it in my opinion.

Leave Entitlements

This agreement delivers improved leave opportunities, principally by providing front-line employees for the first time with the maximum six weeks annual holiday. The agreement also incorporates former “privilege days” (Post Office Holidays) into standard entitlements, giving more flexibility over how and when these may be taken, and offers all employees the chance to opt for the maximum six weeks’ leave, in lieu of pay, even before 20 years’ service is achieved. The new leave entitlements, which include and replace the days previously taken separately as “Post Office privilege days”, will be as follows:

On entry = Four and a half weeks After 15 years = Five weeks 1 day
After 5 years = Four weeks 3.5 days After 20 years = Six weeks

These entitlements are expressed in weeks and days, with a week’s leave being a whole week irrespective of how many attendances are due. A half week’s leave is a number of odd days equal to half the average number of weekly attendances due. Any balance of entitlement to odd days represents that number of daily attendances, except where a (full- or part-time) job requires three or fewer attendances per week, in week case the balance of odd days entitlement is reduced pro-rata to a five day week, rounded to the nearest half day (e.g. the entitlement for a three-day week employee with 5 years service is 4 weeks 2 days).

All periods of service on a temporary or permanent contract (with periods of casual service included only if they run continuously into a temporary or permanent contract), except for those on unpaid leave, SPPR, or with HM Forces exceeding 15 days, will count towards calculating leave due. Previous periods of PO service may be counted for this purpose.

For part-years worked, or where the entitlement changes mid-year, the entitlement will be calculated pro-rata to the proportion(s) of the year worked, rounded to the nearest half day.

Good Luck to anyone trying to book 6 weeks holiday. Your Office must have a better system than ours? Leave's just seen as an Inconvenience to the management, and it's a real struggle to get it anywhere near when you want it. Most seem to end up with loads of time of in Jan-Feb-Mar........Sep-Oct-Nov.

Really should be able to operate a FAIR & Transparently Clear leave system in a Business this large. What ever happened to "Best Practice"? We just seem to make it up as we're going along!
