When can you use Annual Leave you purchased?

Post by Mac123 »

I bought 2 weeks annual leave and I'm looking to know does anyone know when you can take it? Our holiday sheets for the year were done before this could be purchased so there's only a couple of dates left that can be used that I don't really want. Are you able to take it when you want since you purchased them? Just doesn't seem right that I couldn't pick the dates I wanted because the holiday sheets were done before I could purchase.

You only get holidays if they are available. You don’t get first choice just because they were purchased

RM can tell you when to take your annual leave, what they can’t do is stop you taking it.

Keep this in mind when they say no more leave slots are available.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.
