Last day was the 24th, back on the 12th. The 3 days before NYD are given to us as extra paid holiday on top of our allowance as the agency shuts for 3 days. The rest is bankholidays and leave I'm using up as my leave year ends December and I still had some days left so carried them over to use start of Jan.

Working until Christmas Eve here then back on 5th of Jan. Stingy in my opinion but I'm sure plenty have it worse.

Christmas Day and Boxing Day off, back in work today.

Just HOW long would you need off for it not to be stingy?

johnny6 · 29 Dec 2008 at 17:38

Half day christmas eve, off Christmas day, Boxing day and new years day. Early finish new years eve.

Anything else would have to be taken out of my holiday, which I can't see the point in doing given I'm not going anywhere and work is minimal between Christmas and new year.

lee32uk · 29 Dec 2008 at 17:45

Finished 1pm on 23rd dec back on 5th jan.

milkinc13 · 29 Dec 2008 at 19:38

weescott · 29 Dec 2008 at 20:25
