weve worked every previous xmas even thou it was the chosen few allowed to have it off, they will not let us carry any over into the new year or buy them off us so what exactly are we meant to do ...........Loose them?...................I dont think so. I dont personally like been refered to as a see you next tuesday either just because i want what holiday im entitled to and booked 11 months prior.

Gosh, here's a novel idea. Just a thought mind you... Your annual leave is for a year. So take it other times during the year and don't leave it until the last minute.

They aren't required to let you carry it over. It's unlawful to buy it off you if it is statutory leave.

And after several years of this, one would have hoped that the idea of not taking leave at the end of the year might have filtered into your thought processes. You aren't entitled to take your leave whenever you want. You especially aren't entitled to you all deciding that you will bug out on leave during a busy period. Personally, this sounds like a case of a place where management need to tell you when you will take all your leave - giving you no options at all. That way you will all get your holiday when it suits management - and perfectly legal. For goodness sake stop acting like this is a playground, or that is what you will get - "summer holidays" in February!

Anywhere I've worked people have been able to put in leave requests, but they have always had to be approved by a manager. Did the OP have any notification in writing to say that the Xmas leave had been agreed? More likely that they have just assumed a request equals being granted - it doesn't.

Fair is something that happens in a playground. .

But strangely you believe in fair when you come to responding to other's posts you feel unfair as you have in recent days even. Sorry to remind you Or is it when you just can't see someone's posting history. :cool:

OP you should have created a whole new account where no one would know your history - to match the amount of PPR'd users who keep creating new accounts to throw their bile around that they never manage to lose or contain, just the very irony - really unaware they are as recognisable really as they ever were so all relative swings and roundabouts.

What was it said, OP pick up so many yellow cards by the 10th December to ensure you get off or go off sick. that's the way to do it!

Do give it a break Daytona, once again, oops stuartJo1989.

Maybe you need to find a way forward in future. In my team
We all fill in a chart saying which days we would like off then work together to cover the days that are needed over Christmas. Our manager is happy as long as we cover between us. Seems the adult way to go about it. After all, is it not the season of goodwill?

The rest of the year it’s first come first served.

Do you read through that and say "Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say, and well-phrased. I'll stick with that?"

Because to me much of it reads like gibberish.

I don't imagine any of us care when you have your holiday. All we can say is that if you don't like the way this company works, leave.

Ah, I have been rumbled. No doubt I've been reported and will be banned within the next day or two Quite funny but this time I'll get rumbled more based on my own admission here, as apposed to other methods they use

Seriously though, for the most part I don't come back on here to cause trouble (though the odd silly question from the likes of OP deserves a silly answer) and in fact my posting history displays an eagerness to HELP people. It is a bit of a testament that I can get to 261 posts WITHOUT a single warning or getting noticed!

It is a real shame really. But then again, I admittedly probably have better things to do with my time than contribute by helping others with their consumer rights + employment issues (even if that is clouded by the odd silly remark).

Hey ho, enjoy the forum! See you in 6 months perhaps? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Which is EXACTLY what you should be saying to your employer, albeit phrased slightly more politely. You are entitled to 5.6 weeks of leave (inc BH) - if the employer won't let you have it when you want it, why not ask what is convenient for them? They have to let you have it!

Given the history, why are you not unionised now???
