If you really want a pay rise do this...

Holidays in december are fantastic because of Christmas. Or have you never heard of Christmas as well as carrying over holdays

mumbles_one

you join a company in january and they give you 1 week per year holiday.
you can take the week any time you like.

what is the best strategy for taking the 1 week???? "put answer here"

should you take the same week every year or move your week earlier every year???? "try putting and answer here"

these are the questions that need answering before you carry on trying to understand what I am getting at .

if you fail to answer these questions and just go off on a rant then it will be perfectly clear that you don't want to take part in this discussion and just want sympathy

lets start with the rolling year read the link yourself please joe

I did and there is no mention of a rolling year, just when the holiday year starts.

and then tell me if it is possible to carry over holidays

YES, I'll put it in bold just so you can see it

Accruals
Some employers run an 'accrual' system, where holiday entitlement is built up over the first year of employment. This means that for every month you work, you become entitled to one twelfth of your annual entitlement. So, after six months, you would be entitled to a half of your annual entitlement.
Accrual normally continues during statutory absences like maternity leave.
Carrying over holidays
You do not have a right to carry leave over. However, your employer may allow you to carry over any untaken holiday from one leave year to the next.
You must take all of your statutory minimum holiday entitlement each year. Only holiday on top of this can be carried over, and only if your employer gives you permission or it is allowed by your employment contract.
Payment in lieu for holiday or 'buying out'
You are not allowed to exchange any untaken statutory holiday entitlement for pay. You must take all of your statutory holiday entitlement each year.

That says you don't have a right to carry over leave, but you can if your employer allows it, but only leave above the statutory minimum. And that is what I have been saying, some employers allow a certain number of days to be carried over.

Now explain what you mean by a "rolling year", don't point to web pages that don't even mention it.

I have answered them, an so has everyone else, it's only you who can't see it.

I don't want sympathy, I just want you to admit your idea is rubbish. It's based on too many thing that just aren't true.

1. Everybody saves their holidays and takes December off - NOT TRUE
2. Every body takes the same period off every year - NOT TRUE
3. Taking your holiday earlier is getting a pay rise - NOT TRUE

Only the last two weeks.

Heard of carrying over? It's you who is arguing can't be done and me saying it can't, so what do you think bonnie lad, have I heard of carying over?

I knew this kid would be back as soon as the ice age cartoon film finished. With a bit of luck he'll b*gger off and watch alvin and the chipmunks soon.

Joe

you can take the week any time you like.

what is the best strategy for taking the 1 week???? you say "Take it in the week that is best for you, not when some hair brained scheme says you should take it."
I say
if you take the same week every year there will be 51 weeks to work before your next holiday
if you take it one week earlier every year there will only be 50 weeks between your holidays
which strategy looks better . I know which looks better for me

should you take the same week every year or move your week earlier every year????you say "Take it in the week that is best for you, not when some hair brained scheme says you should take it."

I say taking holidays earlier every year has some benefit especially if you are prone to "ranting"

redcard

Ive got a new strategy.

Let's say you get 25 days a year. That's almost one half day each week.

Take that half day every Friday afternoon, or even Monday morning.

That means every week you'll only have to work 36 hours till the weekend. Your colleagues are all working 40.

What's better, working 40 hours every week, or working 36 hours every week?

This is the strategy.

for Joe
a rolling year
it means from the time you joined,
a year on the calendar would be from the month/date you started working to that same month/date the following year then another year would start (e.g April - April).

What's better, working 40 hours every week, or working 36 hours every week?

This is the strategy.

number of days worked between holidays doesn't reduce to a total of 10 months
