My employer has stated that on the night-shift cause there are only 12 of us working he will not give any 2 people the same holidays even if it is only a day. His he within his legal right, as i thought as long as you had earned your hols, you could take them anytime.
Answer:
I am afraid he is within his rights - we have the same system at work, if one person has holiday booked another can not go then. It is upto the manager. First come first served basis. It is legal.
He is within his legal right to restrict time off to only 1 (or whatever number he's comfortable with) person per day. This is for vacation or personal time off.
As for holidays, if the company is closed, then no one works.
Yes, unfortunatly he is. However he is also obliged to give you ample opportunity to take your holidays. Best option is to book them as early as possible.
I work in finance and can't take holidays for the last three days and first four days of the month. It is a reall pain.
Firstly, contractual conditions of employment can be changed at anytime. Even verbal working contracts are binding too.
However, employers can impose their own working terms, such as when holidays can be taken. That is why millions have to take holidays at fixed times of the year, such as at factory close-down times, rather than when they would really like to take them.
Wages can also go down and not just upwards too! Hence we have no right to an annual pay rise. The sad truth.
Good luck! Rob
he has the right to say if it takes a minimum of 11 people to work safely for the night shift one 1 person at a time can have holiday. However under the new EU working time directive you are entitled to 2weeks holiday in the summer !!! so get your Union onto it,
