Carried over leave is irrelevant to POAL, you're purchasing against your entitlement, not against what leave you may or may not carry over any given year. For once a DOM has got something rightscoobymunster wrote:Bump. Can anyone clarify for me, if I want to purchase the max annual leave but I'm already carrying over some days, would I simply be paying the difference between the carried leave and the max, or still purchasing the extra leave based on my basic entitlement? DOM is claiming the second, meaning I'd have more than 6 weeks but I highly doubt it. I'll ring HR tomorrow.

Buying annual leave
Thanks for your replies, now to decide whether it's worth buying extra leave that I'll struggle to get using.

Buying annual leave
How does buying the extra leave work? Can I request which 2 weeks I want to buy or do I get additional holidays but they tell me when to take them? Just trying to plan a big holiday celebration for a 40th birthday.

Has the method for purchasing annual leave changed? I was told earlier it isn't done via a form anymore. I was going to ask my lino but then had a word with myself...

Done though psp. Ask your lino to to do it. If your not happy or are then still unsure with the outcome contact you're rep or area rep for clarification. That is what your lino and union are there for. Of course this all depends wether or not you are in the union.S6 Stroller wrote:Has the method for purchasing annual leave changed?

It is still done via a form and then entered onto PSP, it can only usually be done between November and February - so it is in place for the next financial yearS6 Stroller wrote:Has the method for purchasing annual leave changed?

That goes for cancelling as well as buying

Re: Buying annual leave
Hi looking to buy holidays. I'm on 3 days a week and want 6 weeks of summer meaning 18 days. I'm owed 6 days too. Is there a limit to how many days you can purchase??? I've been told 10 days which i don't believe.

Re: Buying annual leave
You can buy up to the equivalent of 6 weeks, so in your case, it should be 6x3 days.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
