Sazzzy Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I know for a fact that some people have to book time off six months in advance. Someone else stated that they needed to book their 2009 holidays in September 2008! They might want to take this up with their employer if this is the case, since its contrary to the Working Time Regs. Just thought I'd mention. Take what up with the employer? i have to book most my holidays septober 08 to get them in 09 and yeeh i know what u mean, i liked manchester too because 45 mins and ddoesnt cost liek £68 travell exspensises. and with the stupid work cutting hours it was handy but meh wont stop me going to the others there way tooo much fun haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather depends on what their contract of employment says. And how keen they are to rock the boat at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeDonovan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 has there still been no confirmed date yet? Again, I would assume it's not happening.

Anyone want to go for 2 years notice for 1 day off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunaTsukino Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I can understand where Mike's coming from 1 whole year to book off a holiday is a bit ridiculous. However if you notice it's September. September is one of the few months where EVERYONE tries to book a holiday, and the last thing people want is for all of the staff booking a holiday at one time... I know people who have to book 6 months in advance. It does happen, especially in a busy organization. That way they can limit the amount of people taking the time off work. It's common sense really. On a side note.... Hurry up showmasters and give us a date or confirm it's not happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 im ment to have one weekend in one weekend off and that worked amazingly well as it often fell on a con weekend but as of about two weeks ago and hitler state that i work for i still get the 'equivalent too' two weekend off a month .so that could be i do every weekend in one and non at all the next. i have to book every single day off i defenatly want in advance, so say i wanted to book for lfcc next year 2010 i would have to have that booked in as soon as i knew the date, i always asume its the middle weekend. if i want to go away for christmas i cant get one until 2011 as we already have 4 people on holdiay this year and there the same greedy gits that have booked next year to. so in short my holidays look a bit like this ... april ( im off to europe so im off a as of the 6th till 5th may) june 45678 july 16 for a week i have the last weekend in august off for glasgow and luckily twiglet 2 fell in a gap where no one had a holiday in or i would have been right stuck as i just booked up and hoped for the best. everything else is just luck... i tried to take lieu time on tues to go look at a flat ( they owe me a week) and they kicked up such a stinking fuss, as it had a knock on affect on the rota, ( it didnt but well yu know the powers that be that dont have anything better to do then sit in an office and dictate to the lower man.) so in short lol , yeah dates are always apreciated as soon as possible, cause i have to orginise a heck of a lot of stuff. sorry rant over can you tell its been a sore spot the last few days at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrunk Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Can I recommend the New Century Hall as a possible venue? It's just the right size to try and 'reboot' the Manchester event, plus its well located - its right near Manchester Victoria rail and metrolink stations. The potential for this event to grow is there, I just think if you manage to sell out a couple of events at the NCH, then its natural progression would be moving it back to the GMEX.
