Help me get a grip!!

[StressingOutHere]

So we have a new manager at work! She's lovely but she has mis-understood the annual leave policy! I'm part time (10 hours a week). I get about 75 hrs annual leave hours a year including bank hols pro rata. I dont work Mondays, so am never off on a bank hol, but they r included in my 70 hours annual leave hours, so I get the hours as such!

Anyway, my manager deducted 15 hours from my leave for May as there are 2 bank holiday days, despite the fact I will work all my hours and take no leave this month!

Help me get a grip!!!! I know she's new, it's just a mistake and it will eventually get resolved! But she doesn't seem to get it!! So is insistent she's right, so it's going to be a battle! If she does this for every bank holiday that will be more hours than my whole years annual leave entitlement!

Help! I wish I wasn't stressing but my annual leave is so important to me! And this is doing my head in!

Help me get a grip and calm down!!

You’re completely overreacting!

It’s an admin thing. I’m sure it’ll be sorted soon.

Thanks! Yes I know I'm over reacting! Too much wine! Thanks for helping me get grip!!

Is there hr above her to sort it. If you don’t work the Monday’s then surely the hours shouldn’t be deducted ... but if they are included and you don’t work them should you not get them included in the first place?

I would feel the same, especially if she is indignant about being right! But do know it will get resolved and she might end up feeling a bit silly, then you can feel smug and happy!

Don't stress too much - it's so frustrating when people don't get this but it will be sorted.

Do you have HR people you can get to explain it to her?

Are you the only part timer, or can you enlist help from others?

Failing that perhaps an independent advice site might help her get her head round it:

In my office I'm the part time holiday expert you should only be booking off the bank holidays that fall in your working day so if you work Fridays for example good Friday would be taken off not Mondays if you don't work them that it's possible
