As it stands I am on the standard 24 days holiday entitlement from work from April to the following April.
Work has told us to that we have to have 5 days at xmas.
They have now requested that no Holidays be taken in April and May as this is regarded as a 'busy' period.
2009 = 28 days and work has said that they will be telling us to have the extra 4 more days at xmas.
I was just wondering how much control your workplace is actually legally allowed to have over your holiday entitlement, If i remember correctly in the days of old it was just 5 days/week e.g. for Harvest.
Can anyone clear this up for me please?
The agricultural wages board is who they say they follow the suggestions of. But I have sadly been unable to contact them with regard to this matter as they suck at answering phones/emails.
I would ask the boss for the wages board point of view, but currently am not on speaking terms due to the fact that I was given a verbal warning completely out of the blue which I am furious about, hence, this post. Especially considering I work my ass off and have not put a foot wrong in X amount of years, for booking a 4 day holiday for the end of April as my partner is currently very very homesick and her mother is coming all the way from poland to take her home. (They were aware of her situation and the mother coming before xmas, furthermore I also booked the time off in january, and the idiots only decided to say something 2 days ago.)
Much appreciated for any info xxx
