Anybody work in an industry where there is a system in place to give staff annual leave increments when they hit milestones? 23 days after 5 years and so on? If so, can you divulge the industry or even better, pm me with specifics? Working on a proposal in work (Retail and Manufacturing) so need specifics. Thanks. ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

working in finance. it's company specific, but if you've a year of service (strict on being with the company from 1st jan) then you get an extra day for the next year. can obviously only be a certain amount of additional days, not sure what this is restricted to. I'd done three full years and gone from 22 to 25 a lad had start on 3rd jan and didn't get the increment for the following year. same with bonuses, if not in the company on 1st sept then you are not included in the pot.

Up to 2 years ago I worked in the construction industry. With my previous employer you received 1 additional days leave for every 5 years of continuous service. I was there 9 years and received 1 additional day in that period. Now that I work in the civil service I no longer receive that particular "benefit" in any shape of form. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Working in Finance 23 days is the standard 2 additional days for 3 completed years of service at the start of the year 1 extra after 5 years 2 extra after 10 years Get an extra day when you become an officer in the company And recently introduced you can buy up to 5 additional days ------------- |

Work in Local Government in the 6 counties 23 days standard leave on top of Bank and Public Holidays 28 days standard leave after 5 years Think it then goes up to 30 or more after 10 years. Pretty generous |

Work in the FMCG sector. I'm sure this is company specific, we get an extra days for every 5 years service. They calculate this on a full calendar year so if you started midway through January, you'd essentially have to work an extra year to get your extra day off. Leave is 20 days standard. I'm in here 12 years so I'm on 22 days. We can also take a days hols if we work 8 hours overtime in the previous quarter so that bumps me up to 26 days ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

Not quite true, you have core hours you have to be in, mine are 10-12.30 and 2.30-4,they're different in others councils, around that you can work whatever hours you want as long as you work your 37 hours in a week. 30 days annual leave and 13 flexi days though😎 |

What are the flexi days? I've a friend who works for the government and he has the work hours you mention above but they also have this "sick policy". They are allowed 2 sick days a month so if they dont actually need them they just take 2 extra days holidays .... all off the record! ------------- |

I get 20 days + bank holiday, 10 paid sick days. You get an extra day after 5 years, 2 after 7, 3 after 10, 4 after 12 and 5 after 15years, that's when it's capped. When I lived in Vancouver, my first job you got 10 days holidays and they took 2 off you for them closing the office on Christmas eve and NYE, so you had 8 for the year, couldn't even take 2 weeks off, no paid sick leave.

Flexi Days are days off work in lieu of time previously worked. In the Irish CS, its possible to have 19.5 days off if you work the hours in advance. You are allowed to take 1.5 days off in any four week period provided you have worked the additional hours in the previous four week period. Over the year you are working the same number of hours. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Self employed myself, I work off the Irish Horse Racing Fixture Calendar so it's great to have your year mapped out location wise but the downside is that if I'm sick and can't go to work = no wages. Long term plan is to get into the head office in HRI so I'll have a far more regular working career. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

My company only introduced it in the last few years but it seems to becoming more popular with the whole worklife balance drive. Essentially it’s the same as unpaid leave as it’s calculated on a day rate. Say if your salary is €110K and you are expected to work 220 days a year. You pay €500 for each extra day off. ------------- |

No reason, depending on your current contract of course. Even non-compete clauses might be a restraint of trade. Also, plenty of companies will put you on gardening leave if you give notice and intend to leave for a rival, but if they are making you voluntarily redundant, I don't see why you can't take the cash then start a new job straight away.... but it does depend on the terms of your contract. -------------

With the storm the last few days we were told if we missed work we would have to work back the hours. I missed three days so have to work back 22 hours. Went back to work today and we were told we have until the 30th March to work the hours back BUT the only days we can work the extra hours back are two Friday afternoons of their choice (we normally finish at 12.30 Fridays) and the two Saturdays directly after them. As it happens those two Saturdays I have plans and can't make it in. I was told tough luck. They'll be taking annual leave instead. I've offered to work up the hours by coming in early most days yet they've turned their nose at it. Surely they can't do that given the circumstances?

This query is more to do with sick leave. I work in finance and have gotten a doctor/cert to state I'm unable to work for 2 weeks. (9 working days due to bank holiday) I tore a calf muscle and have to keep it rested, elevated, iced etc I'm currently back home on the other side of the country so both the gp and doctor in the hospital told me notto travel. Work are now advising after 7 consecutive days out to ask my doctor for some social welfare cert. Does this mean work won't pay me sick leave after 7 days or welfare pay some of it? I was just made perm back in May and expect work to pay me as I've provided my cert.

Depends whats in your contract. Some employers pay your full wage while out sick and others give you nothing. Either way just ask your GP for a social welfare sick cert.They will know exactly what you need. If work pay you they will want to be reimbursed by Social Welfare for the amount of illness benefit paid out,you must be getting paid from them as I doubt they'd be chasing you otherwise. |

I didn't even ask for it. Doctor just wrote the note to say I require 2 weeks off work. I'm on the other side of the country so can't travel with a heavy bag and crutches on public transport. Have to keep the leg elevated. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

First of all I've never claimed sick leave in my life. I have no idea what I am or amen't entitled to irrespective of being made permanent or not. I can't travel 200 miles on a pair of crutches with a heavy bag and how am I supposed to keep my leg elevated, iced and in the one position when I'm working in a busy office. Do I take taxis in and out of work at 20 quid per trip? I've never torn a muscle or been on crutches in my life and I'm assuming I'll aggravate it more if I ignore what the doctor says. As I stated I never asked for 2 weeks off but I know I can't travel at the moment up to Dublin. I'm going to the states at the end of September so I don't want to prolong the injury as I'm not travelling with crutches over there. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

Some other poor sap has to pick up the slack when people are out sick. As someone else said, it is about personal attitude. A colleague of mine died last year after a long battle. She used to bring oxygen canisters in to the office. Another colleague wouldn't bother her hole to open her laptop for 2 weeks because the doctor had signed her off work with a bad back.

Maybe if she had taken the sick leave she was entitled to she might still be with us. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |
