Legal or not?
Hi All,
My son works for one of the big supermarket chains and has done for 3 years or so now. He enjoys it but this year has not been able to take all the holiday due to him. After trying to book some days off in October his line manager stalled and stalled until in late Jani=uary he was told that the budget for holidays has been spent and there's no way he can
1. have his days off before the holiday year ends
2. be paid for the days he can't take
3. carry his holidays forward to next year (April-April)
This strikes me as somewhat odd and although he does not want to make a fuss, I suspect that his immediate superior is pulling a fast one and keeping department costs under budget at the expense of his younger, less worldly -wise staff.
Your thoughts and comments are welcome (especially if you've got a bit of employment law under you belt). I'd like to know a bit more about his rights before i contact the regional HR dudes...
