They should be able to put at least a couple of weeks rota ahead on the noticeboard unless your DO is really short staffed. Even when our DO was not fully staffed we still would have at least a month ahead on the noticeboard.

Talking of staff shortages their were 16 walks lapsed, as in not delivered at all, in our area on Saturday due to 'sickness' on the half-term week. Apparently there are problems due to Ramadan as well and prayer time. RM have to find out if it is correct to be praying for 90 minutes at a time or not.

Well don't come in Monday then It is just a good a day as Saturday off in that you get two together just say you assumed it was because you were off Saturday or could not see the rota for the riot before you.
