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 .

But I work less hours every week. You only gain once per year. I GAIN EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

I get paid the same as someone working 40 hours a week. Best thing is HR can't do nothin!

I can't quite make up my mind whether the OP is merely a simple troll or just a candidate for the most stupid person on the planet.

(Am I allowed to say that? I plead justification and fair comment. m'lud.)

if you only have 1 week per year and you can take it when you like

what is better
take the same week every year ??? is that your choice??

or
take an earlier week every year??? that's my choice

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

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"

where you gonna run to now???

It may look better, but you have never worked so have no real experience of life. In your scheme you would end up taking the first week of the year off then having to work 51 weeks before you have earned another week off.

If you had worked you would know that nobody want to face the prospect of working 51 weeks without being entitled to a holiday.

Your scheme may look good to you on paper, but you have no experience of it in life, if you did you would have noticed that each year the time you have to work before you are entitled to another holiday was getting longer each year.

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"

You've gone from saying it is the best way and you get a pay rise out of it, to saying it has some benefits.

You know you were wrong, it's just taking you a long time to admit it.

Which is better, working 40 hours every week, or working 36 hours every week?

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).

Is it h*ll that, that is a fixed year starting from a fixed date, the date you started.

A rolling year is when you count 12 months from the start of an event to the end of another.

They have a rolling sick year in the MOD and it works like this

You are not allowed to have more than 25 days off sick in any 12 month period, but the 12 months is a rolling period. It doesn't start until your first day of sick

So, if you have 5-10th Jan off sick you can't have more than 25 days off sick between 5 jan and 4 jan the next year. Then if you have 6 may off you can't have more than 25 days sick between 6 may and 5 may the next year. As well as not being able to have more than 25 days sick between 5 jan and 4 jan the following year.

In simple terms it means whenever you are off sick you can't have more than 25 in the 12 months following your first sick day. So each time you are sick a new sick year starts, but previous ones are still in force until their particular 12 months have passed.

That is a rolling year. What you described is a FIXED year, regardless of what day it starts on, it starts on that day EVERY year, so it's not ROLLING.
