Resignation, Lieu time and HR

Sometimes to achieve your personal desired outcome one needs to compromise. Your employer has merely laid their terms for you to leave on the 9th. Rather than at the end of term of the 17th. Choice is yours.

I once worked for a similarly restrictive department. We could 'bank' excess hours but weren't allowed to take them until we'd used up all our annual leave. As we had certain times of year when leave was not allowed, and a team leader who hated to sign off leave requests, it meant most people carried the banked time over for years. It wasn't a system used by any other departments who all adhered to the actual Flexitime policy.

Come the day (a Thursday) I'd been offered a job in another department, I went to my departmental senior manager to hand in my one month notice and asked if I could be paid for my banked time. He flatly refused and said 'you can take the time during your notice'. I asked if he was sure and he said he was. I said 'okay, that means my last day will be next Wednesday'. His face was a picture but when he pulled up the spreadsheet, he couldn't argue with the three and a half weeks banked time HE had recorded.

It was one of my best moments in that department, which I was glad to leave. Funnily enough, the banked time system was stopped shortly after that.

That doesn't make sense, the OP doesn't need to leave on the 9th to start the new job. They just want to take their TOIL and A/L.
