I'm not allowed to accrue more than 40 days Rec or we get forced to take leave unless we have pre-planned holidays to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather come into work.Iv cut it down to 28 days I may stop at 25 and then take some long leave in Dec/Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran Thooperrrrrrr Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 13y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: NOR, Western Australia Posted 20/08/12 02:04 AM Share Posted 20/08/12 02:04 AM Only RDO we get is RBDO - rostered birthday off which is a nice perk.We also are "expected" to attend charity functions to help out in our own time, like at concerts, balls, general functions etc for some of the charities the company supports. Meant to do 2 per year but I've never attended one, neither have a few others. Benefit from it is 1. can see a live concert/football/rugby game etc and all we need to do is stand there and take donations, and for doing it for the 3-4 hours we get a full day in lieu. Would come in handy after a rough weekend if you know one was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few mates over there get it as well..All my accrued time is either time off at 1 for 1 or paid out at penalty rates at the end of the pay period..I take penalty rates.. We are supposed to only have a max of 2 weeks accrued leave but I tend to get pretty high without a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you get four weeks a year? So they want you to use it every six months...seems dodgy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
