re bought leave

Post by elal1963 »

can some one please help me to the use of bought leave, I have bought leave and been told i cant use them as ad hoc days, even though there is a space for leave and no operational emergency.
Can some one show me in black and white if i can use them as i want as i have bought them, i have reps but they haven't given me a straight and clear answer. my line manager says you can only use them in blocks of weeks, I feel this is wrong, also he only does the leave apps on a weekend so if i put an app for leave or to swap a days i wont find out till the following week, he does the apps as overtime on the weekend, this is must be wrong.

i cant understand anyone buying leave?

its your duty, as i see it, to have a couple of weeks off on the spew every year, royal mail have sick attendance guidelines, and after being a concientous worker for the first 17 years in the business, i now see it as a duty to take paid leave every year.Your scenario is played out all over the country mate, its incredible, but thats how they treat us im afraid.
