POAL change...

Post by Indy »

I currently buy extra holiday via POAL.

If half way through the year I decide that I don't want the extra leave can I cancel it and get a 'refund' or can this only be done before the holiday year starts?

I was actually thinking of ending it now i.e. 3 weeks into the holiday year.... its not the end of the world as the saving would only amount to about 30 quid/month.

Contact HR and ask,baring in mind the holiday year has only just started.
Let us know how you get on if you do.

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.
