schiller

Julian: (thanks) The policy documents are inline with the legistation i have read and understood. Im not saying something is wrong or illegal. But interpereting the legislation and policy to what is actually the case and happening in practice casts an nice big gray shadow over everything.

Paul: (thanks) I understand that and its very reasonable. But... In the working enviroment i am in there is no solid ground on working times, etc. Next month i may or may not be working on a tuesday but lets say i want that tuesday off. I request the date - the rota isnt published so in theory the holiday is pending, pending depending on the number of ppl who requested the same day before me and if i am working that day at all. At the moment i am unaware of anyone working under the same contract as me who has any pending holidays. all requests holidays have been denied without consideration. This is the root of my frustration...

Cheers Stuart.
