Use up excess leave by.....

Post by yellowbelly »

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere on the threads, but just seen this as one of the messages on the PeopleApp and
as a lot of folk don't use it, thought I'd post it:
Annual Leave – Taking breaks from work

Taking a break from work is vitally important for your health & wellbeing. Employees can carry over (c/o) up to 5 days leave (or contractual equivalent) each year. Above this requires written permission from your manager.

Those with excessive c/o leave need to reduce this in line with our policy. From 01/04/24, employees need to reduce their c/o leave by 31/08/24 as agreed with their manager.

If you carried over less than three weeks into 2023/24 you need to book and use it by 31/08/24
Exceptionally, if you carried over more than three weeks into 2023/24 you need to book and use it by 31/08/25

Unless there is an exceptional reason, remaining c/o leave will be lost – please read this fact sheet. This approach then applies annually.

It's been discussed here, but everyone should mention it in person. I've spoken to a few people in the office who were unaware of it. Haven't heard anything from management, who I assume hope it will pass quietly and allow them to plug hours with stolen leave next Autumn.
The machine stops.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
