Asda Colleague Handbook Holidays 2017
I began working here while studying at sixth form just as a Saturday job. I work a 10 hour shift which paid quite well. I could get extra shifts in the evenings and school holidays. Overtime was shared out fairly among staff. My manager was great.
He always asked about our lives and always checked we were okay. I loved how we were often allowed to work in pairs so we could chat as we worked in the back room. Sometimes we would be left without a section leader on a busy period which meant we would be expected to manage too much work but it wasn't often. The pay was good for me being a student but is minimum wage for a 25. You do get a 10% discount which is doubled on special events.
I booked a holiday as a christmas gift for my brother to go to Center parcs.I booked it last November. To go this November (about the 20th) Since then my sister has fallen out with me.(long story not connected to the center parcs thing) and i have a feeling she has been bad mouthing me to my brother. I have now heard from my mum that my brother won't be able to go in november as he is not allowed any time off work (asda) during November and December. (he started there this Feb.part time) Am I being paranoid?Is this true? Anyway going to have to cancel the holiday and lose deposit.:confused2. At Tesco's, they don't like us taking December due to their busy period (can take the 1st two weeks though). Its fine for November but could be different at other stores or at Adsa.
Thanks.Iam suspicious.my brothers hours are mostly the weekend and I booked a holiday monday to Friday for him.:confused2 aS it happens my brother and family sister and family and mum and dad are all at center parcs this week too. They booked it last month for a week they knew I wouldn't be able to go.(son doing A levels.dd in school):confused2. Boots do not generally allow time off for the 8 weeks prior to christmas so that would include november. It is certainly possible that Asda don't allow time off then as it will be their busiest period - especially at weekends.

However having said that most companies will honour holidays booked before starting employment with them so if the holiday was booked in Nov 2010 and your brother started work in Feb 2011 I would expect them to allow it if he could show when it was booked although they could argue that he should have told them about it back in february. Why not talk to your brother about it rather than getting (possibly wrong) info from your Mum?
Id be inclined to just ask your brother outright and if he says no he isnt then tell him that you had booked it for him and will have to cancel, if he says he can but asks why then you will have to tell him because he will need to give notice in work incase he has requested more hours in the lead up to xmas anyway. Im afraid although you wanted it to be a surprise your going to have to tell him one way or the other. Just to add I think its a lovely xmas present:) Thanks!My brother already knows about it LOL.I told them about it last November when I booked it. It was a pressie for them all for last Christmas.:) My brother has told my mum to tell me he can't go.:confused2.

Hi.yes it was booked before he started.and he wouldn't be away over the weekend i just booked the mon to fri holifay. He asked mum to tell me.I don't think he wants to have a conversation with me about it.:confused2 It sounds like some companies DO in fact say this.so its possibly true?i don't know what to think.
I agree it sounds a bit sus!! I know that when I worked for Morrisons we couldn't take holidays during December.
But if the holiday was booked before he started the job, then any employer would have to honour it!! Also, if the holiday doesn't conflict with his contracted hours then Asda can't actually stop him going. Although if they were unaware of the holiday when they took him on, they might take a dim view of him turning down extra hours when they are busy. It sounds as though he is prepared to sacrifice the holiday, either to keep his new employers happy or to earn some extra money (sorry:( ). Whatever the reason, he should have had the decency to explain to you himself, not use your Mum as a gobetween. Thanks everyone!:).I can't go myself as my dd starts senior school in Sept and the week of the holiday is the week of her first exams for thw christmas report.
The holiday was booked for my parents, sister and her dd and my brother his dd and wife. It was a christmas pressie from me and dh.as they LOVE center parcs and went that same week last year. Since then my sister and i have has a large fall out.to the point we are out of each others lives.
I thought my parents and brother would still go.but.like I said my mum called me up telling me nicely to cancel as Brother can't go due to not being allowed.(asda).My parents won't go alone. I think my sister might be behind my brothers change of heart.but i don't know.or even know if I want to know.:confused2 thanks for all the replies.it seems unlikely he is telling the truth.but I suppose the only way to know is like someone said.ask him if he has other dates in mind I can change it to.

Could it also be that other staff have already booked time off in November and they can't accomodate him being off in November too? When I was a retail manager for a large supermarket, we had a target for how many hours of holidays could be used per department per week/month and if, say, you had a full-timer and a part-timer booked in then no-one else would be able to be off that week as it would exceed the target hours for the dept budget. Just a thought. I guess to know for sure you have to ask.:(.

Very same for my store!

Tesco by any chance? We have to 'write to our store manager' if we want Christmas time off (Second week in December - Start of New Year). He decides if we get the holidays of not, would like be the only one person would be aloud time off though.
