I think sickness pay will be docked for everyone pretty soon
Yeah, and those who are swinging the lead should be hauled up before management, not the valid person to my mind 
Management know who are 'playing the game' to my knowledge. At least in here anyway

don't think it will matter soon and maternity pay
Baz posted:Dame_Ann_Average posted:Baz posted:Yep
thought it was Baz...some firms let you have more
This is an agency though Baz, the route I didn't wanna go down
They'll get round it any way they can cos the company is paying mega bucks to the agency to keep us employed by the agency

surely you have accumalated days off after all these months
Just seen this, yes we can have a holiday but if we want it paid the hours comes off our 'built up hours' or we can take it unpaid and keep our hours.....who wins? I'm guessing the agency
think Pam must be looking for another ship because she missed the last one...good job she wasn't booked on it

I know, I'm about to apply for NPS job when it comes out......it'll keep me there until something better happens

but isn't that what happens in any firm, you get paid and lose the days you've built up ..or am I not getting this at all
Sprout posted:I know, I'm about to apply for NPS job when it comes out......it'll keep me there until something better happens
but you're just moaning about working for them so why not apply at other places in the meantime
Baz posted:I e worked for agencies ....did so for years ...still got paid holidays though
Yeah, it might have changed from when you worked though Bazzy I can take them paid but it comes off my hours that I've built up. Therefore I have to be careful what I do with my hours

bloody pleased about that, as far as I can see it's exactly the same anywhere

I can't explain it properly *cries* Say I have 57 hours of holiday to take. I want a day off that amounts to 7 hours through the week (half an hour less on a Friday). I have to apply for that day if I want it paid which takes that amount of hours off the holiday I've built up, but I can have it unpaid and still keep the hours I have built up

I'm still not getting it...If you take a day off with pay of course you will lose those 8 hours.

You know I'm not pleased with you both at the minute, don't you?
Sprout posted:You know I'm not pleased with you both at the minute, don't you?
why?
I'm just not getting how you take a holiday and not expect to lose those hours...I just don't get it.

It means getting paid or not though, the jobs I've worked in have always paid me for my holidays and not lost the time, not this one

You have to work to accumulate holidays. They don't give you holidays in advance 
Even Lynds at the hospital had to work to gain holidays
