hoilday refusal

[robbieg]

i booked a short break from work which mistakely conicided with the start off our summer sale ( which date was givin after booking), i was told a few days before i was due to go that as the manager off the store i was not allowed to go and if i did i would face a disciplinary on my return. as acas said they could sack me i decided not to go . i have just found out that the manageress off are other store did not work the first weekend of sale only the sat and their ass manager left early.
which i was told was not allowed very double standard any suggestions as my employers were told i could not change the holiday or get a refund they refused to auth the leave or refund monies lost.

If you booked the holiday and paid for it without asking your company for the leave first, then I'm afraid you don't have a case. However, you should take up the issue with the other manager being off, although it may have been a family emergency, so check your facts first before you go in all guns blazing!!

If you were allowed the leave by your company and then booked your holiday - complain like hell and insist on getting your money back for the cancelled break.
