I’ve just been told that because I don’t have a child I can’t take annual leave during school holidays as my line manager needs to take that time off for child care arrangements and one of us need to manage the team (I do this when she is not there).
Basically she’s taking a week off either side of Christmas and has worked one day per week over the summer holiday and taken the rest as unpaid leave.
There are already four months in the year when I am not allowed to take any annual leave due to my workload.
AIBU to not agree to the holidays leave thing? None of this was explained at interview or before my probationary period finished.
They have just refused a leave request for next year as it overlaps with school holidays by four days although she currently has no leave booked for this period.
