Hi Chaps, If you are a shift worker being paid an uplift on your salary for the trouble etc etc, can you be forced to swap your weekend/evenings with somebody else on the rota if it happens to be during a week that you take leave? Steve

Don't fully understand the question. When you say "take leave" at the end of the question, do you mean "apply for leave"?. If you apply for leave when you're due to work weekends/evenings and minimum manning has already been reached then finding a swap may be the only way to get the time off. I wouldn't think you could be forced to swap but it may be the only way that a request for leave and the needs of the business can both be satisfied. Roland | |||||

I suppose that's a point. Your leave application could always be refused. Suppose I booked my Winter Holiday now but I should be working evenings when I want the leave. With 9 months notice the leave couldn't really be refused. Could I be forced to swap my week of evenings so that I don't take leave during my evening shift. Steve | |||||

Steve, Various "rules" apply here. Not so much Policy & Procedures stuff, but mostly common sense and a mature attitude to the situation. Booking leave nine months in advance, should give you and or your shift co-ordinator time to find a replacement by some means (either a swap or overtime).However, can you be sure that your shift will not change in the meantime ??? Generally, one should consider the shift commitment, when applying for holidays etc. Also one should be aware of manning levels and avoid weeks when "minimum manning" is already reached, except in really exceptional circumstances. There might be times, when taking leave, when scheduled for days, might have just as serious an impact on the operation. | |||||
