Not this one again!!! It matters not when you take the holiday, whether it is 1 day or 6 weeks! You still have to work the year to earn the holiday, so if you take it earlier you still have to complete the year before you earn any more holiday. 1 day per year is 1 day per year, you cannot make it any more by taking it early.

so you would carry on taking the same day every year and working 364 days between holidays while I would take my day an average of 6 days earlier every year. So I wouldn't have to work 364 days before my 1 day holiday I would only be working 358 days. Suppose you can only use the bathroom on your day off. You have to hold longer than me.


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.
What's your guess???

If its all about time between holidays then why not take a long weekend every month then?

Regardless of how you put it, its still not a pay rise. Its the same amount of holiday regardless of when you take it - your not tricking the system in any way. If you were you would be getting more holidays for you pay grade

its no trick . what you do is reduce your time worked between your holidays from 11 months to 10 months when averaged out through a year

But you still don't have any more holidays than anyone else or work any less in a 12 month period or get paud any more so I fail understand your point.

Whether you take the month off in Month 1, Month 6 or Month 12 is irrelevant. You are still taking 1 month off in a 12 month period for the same amount of money

this is how the years play out employee 1 always works 11 months before holidays while employee 2 works 10 months between his holiday
