Does anybody know much about holiday (employment) legislation?
I have done a little research on the dti site and what i can find scattered around but noting specific, it all looks a bit vague.
I know that employers
speculate when holidays can be taken but what about denying all holidays suggested by the employee? We are not talking short term here looking at dates month into the future and years...
Being a final year degree student and a worker, opportunities for holiday are dictated by external factors, i cant really say - "I'll have this week off" becuase i wouldnt be able to use it as holiday, i'd end up writing a thesis
It seems to me that the current legislation (i have read so far) allows employees to speculate that holiday can be taken from date C to date B and anything else (lets say date A to D, being the year) is denied.
If this is the case then my eyes have been opened!! Looks like it could be a very important factor in choosing a job, going for interviews and so forth.
I hope you can shed some light on this, its going to be a bit of a bugg3r for me in the future...
