Why does sainsburys budget affect my holiday entitlements?
budget holiday
Arachne asked:

I’ve received a letter from sainsburys that says they operate a use it or lose it holiday policy. Thats fair enough but the letter also says that I cannot have holiday between four sets of dates. “please be advised that the following periods have no budget left therefore you cannot have holidays on the following dates”. I don’t get it how does there budget woes affect my holiday?

    its the same with the nhs
    we cannot take the ‘busy periods’ off work ie two weeks before xmas and the week after new year

    we do not lose our hols

    Not a financial budget, means that they can only have so many people on holiday at the same time and those dates are booked up

    As already said, it isn’t a financial budget, it’s an employment budget, only a certain number of staff off at certain times.

    BTW, They can’t operate a “use it or lose it” holiday policy except when a company offers more holidays than the statutory minimum - presently 24 days including bank holidays. If they try and stop you having your statutory minimum they are breaking the law!
