Annual Leave 2021/2022 & Bank Holidays

Post by CHUCKYPIG »

If I book a week's annual leave and it includes a Bank Holiday does that mean that only 4 days leave will be used up?

That seems logical to me but royal mail management and logic does not always go together :crazy:

That's not how ours is done, we get that day added on to the following years leave so if you have annual leave on a bank holiday , next year you get your weeks plus however many bank holidays.

Yes and No. Ordinarily, PSP will automatically take four days from you for a weeks leave during a bank holiday week. However if your day off that week falls on the bank holiday then it will take five from you. This then requires someone in the management team to go into PSP and manually give you a bank holiday credit day.
