What notice is defined in your contract ?
I have to give at least 4 weeks notice irrespective of how many days/ weeks I want off.
I can ask for a certain day off if I do give short notice.0 -
The LAW as defined in the working time Regs states that the minimum notice to take a holiday shall be twice the length of the holiday period. So for 1 days holiday the minimum notice is two days.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

Is that not for the notice required to be given by the employer when imposing a holiday?
Employees do not "give notice" of a holiday: they request a holiday, do they not?0 -

My understanding is the reg applies both ways...
WTR 98 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1998/1833/regulation/15/made
15 3 (c) NOTICE
(c) shall be given to the employer or, as the case may be, the worker before the relevant date.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0 -
wow you guys have got it rough if you have to give 4 weeks, i consider two to be decent of you..0

It very much depends on what industry you work in and how much impact your holiday will have on the business.The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

I'd say that yes, it is unusual, but they would be within their rights to turn down any request however much notice is given, so you may be best to just fall in line with their requirements - if you do have to take time off with less notice discuss it with your boss first to avoid disappointment.0

But then you're not the OP with all their employment issues - given their tendency to work to rule it's no surprise the company treats them the same way0 -
Holiday notice is contractual ie. what ever the employer decides
The WTD is just default guidance if nothing contractual.
The employer can say you are taking holiday with twice the notice.
The single time is the time to refuse a request by the employee or change a previous holiday requested and approved or imposed by the employer.
This is one area of the WYD that need sorting so any approved or instructed holiday should only be rescinded by mutual agreement0 -
