We are in the same possition over in the UK. Last year we had to take unpaid leave, now we have new contracts which allows our employer to 'bank' 3hrs of our pay, in case of more occurances this year which never happened I might add. Well not until this holiday anyway, we could go in but after this year I need a break so I'm not complaining. More time to spend at home with the rugrats. No holiday this year and all my bookable days off used for hospital appointments for my mom, or with people comming in to discuss adjustments that need to made to the house to accomodate her dissability. I really need this break. |
