Should I Get My Days Holiday Back?
I work in a school. I have had this week booked off work as part of my annual leave (not a teacher!).
All staff were informed that school was partly closed today, and nobody was expected to make it in if it was tricky. I would certainly be stuck in today if it had been a work day. Nobody else really would have turned up. In fact, I just logged onto the work system and about 3 people are using PC's.
Tomorrow is definitely closed. I just got a text saying so.
My question is - should I be entitled to ask for one or two days holiday to be credited back to me? Everyone else had a free 2 days off, but I get 2 days leave deducted. This hardly seems fair. What will really fck me off is when I go back, and people gloat at me about it.

I am afraid it is just bad timing!
Just have to point this one out, the original poster said that they were not a teacher.
I also work in a school, as support staff, and while I do get the holidays off, my Husband who is also support staff does not get them off, and is only entitled to his 4 weeks off per year.
I am on a full time contract.
I was in a similar situation Dec '05 when the oil depot blew up in Hemel Hempstead. I had booked the following Monday and Tuesday off as holiday days - but as the company was shut (obviously) the rest of the workforce were told to stay at home on full pay. I lost out, but it was just tough and bad timing. Such is life.
No, unless everyone became ill and the school shut. The analogy doesn't really work for me
I'm in no doubt there are 2 sides to this situation. I'm going to try for one day back, and because it's public sector, you never know!
My company will give you holidays back if you are sick on a day you have booked off so i say give it a go!
I suppose its down to the powers that be.... :rolleyes:
Its not as if your salary comes out of any 1 persons pocket...
(being local authority rather than private company)
Take a few sickies to recoup if they're meanies...
