Popular Post Stevo985 Posted February 9, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2016 Might be a controversial one, but the lack of anonymity afforded to people accused of sexual assault and other sex crimes. This recent Mark Pearson case being a prime example. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted the very same a few times over the years , not just on alleged sex crimes but any crime to be honest , you are innocent until proven guilty and therefore you shouldn't have your name splattered across the tabloids followed by a small snippet on page 27 when it turns out you didn't do it 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average appears to be somewhere between 13 and 17. Edited February 9, 2016 by choffer * According to some sources. Others say there is no legal mandate. Guess one of our US contributors can clarify.

V01 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I get 20 days for working 4 days(well nights really) a week, the people who do 5 days a week get 28 days holiday. I've never really noticed until now but I'm not getting the full 5.6 weeks I'm entitled to. Is there any reason I shouldn't be getting these extra 2.4 days?

AlwaysAVFC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm quite lucky regarding holidays, this year I got 24 plus another 14 which includes bank holidays and a few other dates. I also probably earn at least 10 lieu days. Pay ain't great though, I'd much rather I was paid for overtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I get 25 days (5 weeks) of Annual Leave in weekly blocks. One between Jan-April. Two together between April and Sept. One between Sept and Dec. One week can be used when I want as long as the weekly quota isn't full. I then get 10 floating days to use on an ad hoc basis but two of these may have to be taken on 25th/26th Dec if not a rostered rest day. I also get a block of 10 days off every 5 weeks. Annual leave weeks are usually tagged on to these rostered rest day blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
