Sunny and glorious but gloomy in my head today I’m afraid. Having a dark day sadly 

No problems, we've all been there at one stage or another, doing my kite in not seeing my Grandchildren on days I should be taking them out.

Sorry if this has been covered but can’t be arsed scrolling back 

do you still accrue holidays whilst on furlough 

Other benefits aren’t affected I think pal. 
 

My place are saying to folk we will pay you the extra 20% if you burn a weeks holiday which is fair enough I think and gives folk the choice then of a reduced income or use some annual leave. 
 

our senior management couple of levels above me and upwards have all taken unspecified pay cuts and deferred their annual bonuses which were paid to us all last month. Fair play as well for that

Cheers 

However, so long as your employer gives adequate notice, they can insist you take some holidays (paid at 80%)

Im considering when to play that card with my lot

If this goes as far as june, some holidays will definitely need to be used up

Fair play sounds like you work for a decent lot mate, the extra top up for holidays sounds good

Just hard isn’t it regarding holidays how long you give it, hopefully we may have some indication after the weekend on further lockdown timescale

Yeah

My worry is we go back and then i get battered with requests for holidays

Difficult as im sure we will be back at work before folk are able to go away

But its going to be a pig fitting all the days off in if it stretches too far

Everyone will want/need a holiday
Everyone on furlough who earns less than £750 a week should in theory have some extra disposable income
Employers need full staff levels and increased productivity

Going to be problems.

Also depending on how long the travel ban is on for, October half term could be a mad scramble for any family holidays in the workplace

There won't be an October half term this year, according to a couple of headteachers I know.

There's a proposal to re-arrange the calendar to get the kids in school more to make up for the current "time off"
