FOAK - employment law re vacations

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Ben Blaney, Sep 25, 2004.

  1. I think the phrase he is looking for is;
    "I'm going on holiday in February. Thats OK isn't it? Because if its
    not, you can stick your fucking job"

    It worked for me, except that was for 2 weeks in August with 2 weeks
    notice.
    I quit at the end of September and they begged me to stay.
    I later found out one of the mangers got fired as a result of
    information gleaned from my leaving interview.
    Result.
    Another David Brent on the scrap heap.

    Nah.
    What ACAS is trying to tactfully suggest is workers should not make the
    assumption because they have a lawful right to 4 weeks holiday a year they
    are Ok to take it when it occurs to them ...... as in 'kin off for 3 weeks
    unannounced .... and that they should communicate their *preference* to go
    on holiday on -whatever- date.

    ACAS stuff generally is guidance and best practice, not legally definitive.
    Its more about the best way to approach something in a reasonable way.

    For the basic legal position you often get a better lead off the dti
    website. The dti site ain't going to create the right Owen needs 'tho :
