Holidays deadline

[Lou84]

Our office is still booking leave for next year March 2022-March 2023, is there a deadline as to when this should have been completed ?

It seems to be alot slower/later then in previous years with lots of people with outstanding leave for this current leave year, he's supposedly working his way through it but with the speed hes going I think this leave year will have closed :-(

People are being told they may have to stop purchasing it next year to clear their backlog, when there is still availability !

Many thanks

A lot of us getting fed up with this now, had to hand in forms In middle of November, told today it's going to be another month or so before everyone gets the forms back!

So their useless everywhere then !

We handed our last ones in beginning of November, the updated sheet went up about a fortnight ago ! How can they sit on them for so long, meanwhile the DOM can get annual leave

Could be mistaken but I think I read in one of the agreements that it's supposed to be completed by the end of October, so if that's the case then yours is obviously well overdue.

The Joint Statement also sets out a clear process for Operational Managers and Area Delivery Representatives to provide evidence of local agreements on their office’s Annual Leave plans to their respective Delivery Director and Divisional Representatives, which should be completed by the end of October/start of November.

Annual leave has been a complete mess for as long as I can remember and it seems to be getting worse . Managers time is taken up every day just trying to get deliveries out , no time to allocate leave it seems.

If the figure quoted by Si (and I don't disbelieve him. I will leave the coruscating attacks on him to others) is correct and the DILO initiative has freed up over a million hours for our managers, then you have to wonder why they can't manage to sort out the annual leave in a timely fashion.

Here's an initiative - no manager can book or take any annual leave until the annual leave for the office is sorted. If the leave is to be sorted by the end of October for every day it is late every manager loses a week from their annual leave allowance.
