Holiday form

[stevewool]

Well still no news about the holiday dates from Ems work, the NHS,
She put in for the holiday on the 18th of this month and she keeps checking to see if we have it, and guess what, its still there in the file with everyones waiting to be sorted, on asking why nothing has been done yet
The answer is the person that does this is moving and the new person is not here yet so they have to wait, so what are we supposed to do, stupid cant book anything and it seems no one is bothered too

Hope you get the dates you want.

We have a new person in charge of the holiday forms this year. He sees them first and goes through the rosters to see if it's ok to let someone have them. Then they go through to the Operations manager who signs them off before they go through to the personal manager who files them and adjusts your time left. Normally you hear back in a couple of days at most within a week.

I have had a word with the Man in charge of the rosters and he said I can have 6 weeks off at once next June/July ( I do 4 on 4 off shifts, So I am actually only taking 20 days off) However they wont look at next years holidays until January 1st. There is someone else at work that goes to Philippines for a month or more at a time twice a year, so he said if he is allowed I can't see why I shouldn't allow you. However I don't know what dates for certain I am going yet as I am waiting for my better half to tell me as she isn't sure when she will finish working in Singapore.
I've told her I need to know by 1st January or very latest end of January. As even though my boss will let me have the time off, he can't hold it for me if someone else books my preferred dates first.

Never had these holiday forms.

I just inform whoever a few months beforehand on the dates I'm going.

I agree Steve, it's not acceptable...but what can you do......complaining about it just gets taken personally instead of a business issue..... that's life mate in a big organisation.

We've been in the same situation and today I went ahead and booked a week at Centre Parcs anyway. If they refuse the holiday she'll just take unpaid leave and we'll see.

If she's fired out we'll be off to the Paradise Isalnds sooner than we thought....maybe.

If I know my wife maybe not
