Weebl I am sure you are an individual of the highest repute, but in all my many years clerking I have never heard the like. Lets look at the sheer logistics: average on a Sqn 200. Personnel arriving and departing daily which, in turn, means records must be amended daily.Then, if an individual arrives in new PLY month 1 then leaves same PLY month 10 then leave needs to be adjusted - lose some for being on a Sqn, give some back for going to the real world. Then lets take the scenario of a Sqn dude being NFU OOA (and yes it can happen)? Not being employed on a Sqn then surely that person is entitled to 1/3 of 8 days back surely. And so on and so forth.
Clime is correct, the JSP makes no exception for this and I stand by to be advised on single service policy that I am unaware of.
Or you could name the Sqn/or PM me the details and I'll phone the Chf Clk or Sqn Clk and get the gen.
Mate, I am sure you are not having a pop or calling me a liar.
To explain a little further, the days were supposed to initially be removed from the whole Sqn shift personnel on the day (or the day after or whatever) to prevent the exact problem you have discussed.
This did not happen, we asked about it and were told that the Sqn HR were too busy, and they would be deleted at the end of the leave year. We pointed out that this could cause the issues you have highlighted, and also pointed out that if somebody just uses it all and gets it past an unwary approver, what are they going to do? We were told to shush because they were all over it.
As it now stands people who did as briefed and wanted to carry over 15 days (IE, kept 23 days) have had the 8 removed by proxy, those who used all but the 8, have so far had 8 carried over (and permutations between)
We have still been briefed we are not entitled to the extra 8, even though they seem to have done nothing about last years 8. This may mean they have not got round to it yet, or may mean they have realised they are going against the JSP's quoted above, I don't know?
I do know that until the BHs were added to the leave entitlement that I have never been on a Sqn that gave shifties BHs Since they were added I have been briefed not to use 8 of my entitlement because I was not entitled to it, and I was to ensure that the people whose leave I approve kept 8 over.
I will ask tomorrow for clarification of the Sqn policy, They may simply restate what we have been told in which case I will ask about the above quoted JSPs.
