unpaid leave

Post by dazzler123 »

is it possible to take a few days off unpaid, ie. extending a holiday break for a few days? or is it just exceptional circumstances of more importance

Think it depends on the circumstances alas extending a holiday would not count but can only ask.

I've asked for days off for non family funerals which have been refused, so I took it absent without leave (no pay) with no problem, with the massive financial mess RM have got themselves into & not to bothered about delivering mail they would most probably jump at the chance of not paying you 🤔
