Hi,
can you answer this first???

Yes, I completely accept that.

Do you accept that at the end of October in year two you'll have worked 21 months, and had only 1 month holiday?

so by taking you holidays slightly earlier every year you improve your job conditions???? now start doing the maths to work out your own best solution

my accrual of holidays was on a monthly basis so in year one I worked for 10 month then took the 11th month as holiday irrespective of the calendar year.

Doesn't matter. I worked it out correctly based on your 'system' of taking holidays 1 month earlier each year.

It doesn't work, does it?

NO days are accrued every month according to your contract of employment. work a month you get 2 + days into your holiday pot

But your theory assumes the holiday year goes from jan to dec and you take your whole years holiday at once. Taking dec off is fine as you've earned all your holidays. But when you take nov off you haven't yet earned dec's holidays, when you take oct off you haven't earned nov and dec holidays, yet you are taking them.

So the the number of months worth of holidays you are taking in advance gets larger each year.

You can't see this because you have never worked.

In October of year 2 you'll have worked 22 months and had 1 month holiday.

Sounds good, eh??

He's basically delaying all his holiday at the start, then taking it in advance each year.

It's the same as taking £100 out his first years salary, then 'paying' himself that back at £10 a year over the next ten years, thinking he's getting paid £10 more than he should.

Sad he doesn't get it, I've explained it in black and white!

Lets suppose you only get 1 day per year holiday and you plan to stay with that company for 60 years . what is the best strategy to take the one day per year??? is it best to take your day on 31/12 every year ??? or is it better to take your day earlier every year??? by about 6 days earlier would be my guess. Whats yours???
