How does annual leave work....

[MissKazzyB]

Are we allowed to book afew days off in one week or do we have to book whole weeks off ?

[Celtic Postman]

You can book either individual days or whole weeks off.
It all depends on what is left / available down to operational needs.

You would have to give bookroom 14 days notice for leave for few days or a full week.

How does compassionate leave work?

My grandad is very poorly and we're expecting him to go any day now, I'll need leave for his funeral. Are we paid or is compassionate leave unpaid?

Hi there, there is a topic on this forum called "Downloads", if you go on that you will see a download for the Royal Mail Employment Policies and Procedures. It isn't a massive document. It will answer your question

Edited:

Here is your answer

"Bereavement: It’s an upsetting time when someone close to you passes away. Managers will do their best
to allow you time to deal with your loss.
• Your manager can provide you with up to one week’s paid leave for immediate family, e.g. next of kin or
blood relative (spouse, civil partner, child, parent or sibling), to support you during this difficult time.
• If a member of your family, e.g. grandparent or parent-in-law passes away, your manager can give you
one day’s paid leave to attend the funeral.
• For wider family or friends, you can agree with your manager whether to swap shifts, make up the
time, take unpaid leave or holiday"
