Actually, to get back to the OP's question - he could book a day's holiday, that is allowed as long as you stay in the UK.

However I don't quite know why some people think that others don't work on Christmas Eve, - most people do, afaik. I always did when I worked for the Council.

As I do & as I am.

pmsl i remember those good ole days too, not like that now believe me!!:D

I hated the office Christmas 'gathering'.
I was always the one who volunteered to go back and man the phones.:hello::whistle:

Thinking about it why are all the offices next to a pub lol :rotfl:


I know they are not! Too many of my friends from the Revenue have said so. Most of us have retired now and those that haven't can't wait to do so!!

It's all targets etc today, where has all that fun gone?

Yes I was one of those that propped up the bar, pretending not to notice the time, hoping someone else would go back to check!! Feel guilty now!!

But they just seemed to!! Cardiff was the best - the fire escape ran into the back yard of the boozer next door!!!!

Not unreasonable to sign on, but I don't want him to be own for Christmas.

I understand he may be able to sign on a day earlier, but depends if appointments are available.

Unfortunately he won't go and explain his circumstances.

He most definitely won't be able to sign a day early as he wouldn't get paid.

Why can't he just sign on and set off for home straight away? Surely even public transport runs until the end of xmas eve and if he drives he would have pretty clear rds surely?

Hi guys my other half is in the same position she has to sign on on christmas eve 2.00 oclockish and its my sons first birthday so we're having a little tea with my mum then dashing 200 miles up the motorway so we can spend christmas with her dad so while i think about it and she's got some time i think im gonna get her to ring up and see if she can get an earlier appointment saves playing with the m25 on christmas eve in the evening

(Also havnt asked about the payment dates yet but when we do i'll make sure to update )

if youre due to sign on the 31st then i presume you would be paid on or around the 6th of jan as these are normal days you will be paid normal time but they may have excused you signing on
