Week between Christmas and new year names go into a hat. Rep selects names from the hat, people who don’t get it one year are almost certain to get it the following year

Holidays are allocated via seniority in our DO. One year it goes top to bottom,bottom to top then top to bottom. Next year it goes from bottom to top, top to bottom, then bottom to top.
The views I express here are mine alone and do not represent the views of Royal Mail Group.

To be fair if you was a manager who would you sort out with the days off? Someone who does overtime and probably helps you out when theres stuff to cover or the person who causes the stuff that needs covering and grief everyday? Not saying its right but i can see why managers would think that waymaisymoo04 wrote:bensonhedge wrote:In ours the cut off crew don't stand a chance,I'm a docket man so looking forward to my break![]()

Previous manager always claimed a names in a hat system was used and amazingly the same creeps, favourites and teachers pet always always managed to come out of the hat every year.
Current manager doesn't divulge his critrea but the same people as above have been allocated for the two years he has been with us.

You can either get a lieu day or ask for the equivalent in overtime instead.thedonkey wrote:My rota day off is boxing day am I entitled to an alternative day off of my choice in the same week?
