Yay another EXTREMELY late Easter that lines up with my Birthday (21st April). I Think I will be booking some time off around then to enjoy it properly.

I was off yesterday (photographing retired superheroes hanging around Midlands hospitals mostly).

It was announced on Monday. Within 10 seconds I was looking at the holiday board and realised the potential. I had my chit raised and signed in no time, as I do not think anyone else realised in time. Stupendous amout of time off!

I strongly suspect my company will not be honouring the extra days holiday. (At the very least they may agree to it unpaid) :(

Depends on the wording of your contract apparently; Contracts that list specific bank holidays that staff are entitled to, such as Christmas Day or Good Friday, will not entitle staff to an extra day next year. Equally, staff whose contracts' state they are allowed 5.6 weeks' annual holiday "inclusive of bank holidays" are on dodgy ground. Only contracts which state the worker is entitled to four weeks' holiday a year "plus bank holidays" are likely to be safe. Or you work for a nice company of course.

Yup, this is the category I'm in. They even go as far as to fix several days holiday over Christmas when they close down that we have to take.

Time for a Bob Hawke quotation:- "Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum".* I say this as an unashamed royalist. * Said after Australia won the Americas Cup in 1983 - the first time it left the US since its inception.

Nice quote, but knowing that I'm jobless because I was sacked by a bum isn't going to pay the bills. (It's not my boss anyway, it's just the company ethics. They want to make money, and don't want to give up production time for a royal wedding, and I do kinda get that)
