Eco 3,008 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just took a half day today. Father-in-law is moving tonight so we'll be helping him out today. Other than that, we have absolutely no plans and I couldn't be happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work can get ridiculously busy and if timed right, a weekend just lazing around watching some boxsets or series marathons on TV/Netflix is just right.

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Just now, Cannabis said: I've never once taken a day off as holiday just to sit at home, each to their own but I just don't see the point? I'd rather book holidays off for actually getting out of the country. I am doing just that... been busy around the house/garden and at work while my boss took 3 weeks off to sun himself up so this week I am just lolling around catching up on footy/films and whatever else I fancy doing.. People often ask what I do on my holidays and I just tell them 'the least amount possible' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Only days I have taken off are due to being sick... minus a couple when in Japan where I used them to make a long weekend once or twice (almost impossible to take sick days lol). What entitlements(paid holidays, sick/personal days) do you get in the Uk for let's say a standard full time position? If too broad, take @Stan's job for example?

Our job gives you 25 days holiday and 14 days sick entitlement. That's a shit lot considering we work 4 on and 4 off on top of that. I think I only worked 14 days total in April for example the rest was time off due to how the shift patterns fall.. I still have 9.5 days holiday still to take before December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted August 26, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 26, 2017 I get 30 days annual leave excluding bank holidays. Can carry over a maximum of 5 to the next year. Every 2 years you work you get an extra day allowance. Maximum of 35 days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've worked 10+ years in the NHS (cue many roll eyes and being called a thieving cunt), I have 33 days annual leave, sick pay as full for 6 months (reduced to half for a further 6 months) and 6 days flexi allowance.
