I apologise it's very complicated to understand and explain in a few words. Of course I'll sit down with my bosses and talk to them, that's what we've always been doing for the past 5 years. I'm writing here for informal advice, ex exchanging opinions. I know where to go who to ask for back up. I'm ...
Maybe I'm not explaining myself well... When you exclude/include bank holidays to your statutory allowance it does make a difference. The difference lies in there. If I had my allowance 10 excluding let's say 4/5 BHS then I would have more flexibility as in when to go away (as in the past 5 years). ...
From Dec 2017 to August 2018 there are 7 Bank holidays in total. Of course I'll have to structure my holidays around it. That's not the point though: as mentioned before my boss has a personal allowance of 15 days excluding bank holidays.... they can go on holiday when they want plus more days for t...
Working days= 2 Monday Tuesday Statutory holiday 5.6×2=11.2-8 Bank holidays = 3 days per year I may be thick but I see a huge difference especially when for the past 5 years bank holidays were excluded from my holiday allowance. I'm ready to compromise in that not all of the 8 Bank holidays were to ...
That's a valid point though I can't work any other day during the week as someone else is working the week. I would do it if I could. I wonder if could still take my allowance 10 days plus 5 days of bh as my other colleague. Also my boss is taking 15 days excluding bank holidays so everyone else apa...
Hahaha thing is I can't be forgetful about filling holiday sheet! My boss does that! I get that if you work part time Monday and Tuesday you get more holidays than someone who works Wednesday Thursday and Friday. There are fewer bank holidays falling on a Fridays than a Monday. My point is that if y...
I have an allowance of 14 days including bank holidays. My contract runs from September to August. I've already taken, forced choice really, 3 bank holidays I've Xmas holidays, leaving me with 11 days allowance from which employer will deduct all other bank holidays....also, employer wiĺl have own h...
What happens if you work part time i.e. Monday and Tuesday? You get 11.2 days of holiday allowance (btw, do you round that up to 12 or 11?), including 8 Bank holidays. Therefore you take 8 days out of your 11/12 day, leaving you with 4/3 days a year of holiday??? It sounds so wrong to me.... Anyone ...
Hi there I'm in a similar position: I work Monday and Tuesday, 10 hours each day so I get 14, including bank holidays. My colleague works on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and she gets 16 days, including one Good Friday in March, leaving her with 15 days holidays. I should add that I've been employe...
@CDSW11 My kids don't take their phones in their bedrooms, none of us does at night time as we have discussed about implications ay the table. That's the difference. We don't impose things, we talk. My kids are almost 17 not 12, see the difference there? How dare you telling me to be ashamed?? I've ...
I'm afraid yes you're being unreasonable especially when talking about teenagers.... you may have some very good reasons behind it but put yourself in their own shoes. You'd feel embarrassed too, at their age.
Aww I wish I could help!
I am nanny too, working in the Battersea aerea unfortunately we have a busy schedule otherwise I'd happily hang out with them, sorry! Don't really understand mummies who don't talk to nannies....
Hello I am too a nanny with 20 years of experience plus qualifications. I like the positive comments about nannies who are hard-working and underpaid. Thank you! It's really difficult to find employment with families who appreciate what we do. How can some people be so patronising and snob about us?...
Hi Elodie Well you and your husband sound happy to me! I'm sure and know that is not uncommon but it's still a taboo for women to be so out in the open about sex related matters. Had it been a man talking about it would probably be more acceptable, right? Some comments are just so puritan and judgem...
Hi! I'm a nanny with lots of experience in this field and I do understand how hard it is for families to find the right nanny! It's also nerve wracking for nannies to find the right family too! All of the above checks are very important indeed although gut feeling is crucial! They (candidates) may h...
