Hi I was just told today we need to put every holiday in today. I asked if I could keep some back. I was told no. I thought you had to put in a percentage. I don't know if I need odd day off for things what come up. I normally keep a few days back. We were told it had something to do with pay roll.
If you are talking about the 2021-2022 holidays the booking window has been open since 1st April 2020. If you want to keep a few days back book the end of March and then ask to move them if needed. Come the 1st April the next holiday window opens.
If it's something to do with Pay Roll I suspect your store might be moving to Work & Pay very soon.
Policy is 75% has to be booked now and the remaining days by the end of September.

Yes it was for 2021 2022. I got all mine in apart from 5 days. A week. But been told that's needs to go in also.
There is a lot of work to be done getting ready for work & pay. Stores are being flagged for “data cleanse†issues. Lots of things need sorting, not just holidays. Huge bit of work to be done. It has launched to salaried and some trial stores but due to go live to all this year. Date has moved so could move again but last I heard it was October. I think your store is just trying to get things right before launch. Holiday booking will be via the app eventually but probably not at launch so I think they are just wanting holidays into the system to ease transition to the new system. Holiday will then be booked by the hour so they need to be in system with shifts and not whole days. Depending on the size of the store it is a lot of people to check.
It says you should but its not mandatory to book all holidays... You don't even have to book 75%... As stated before your manager should sit down with you ideally feb/March to book some but you don't have to book any, and then again October, November time and then in December they allocate any remaining holiday you have left up till April if you haven't booked it yet....
Be so good to finally be able to book your own holidays online. No more holiday book that mysteriously goes missing and comes back with dates added by staff who leave things to the last minute.
Your manager still has to authorise your holidays even though they will be online, so there will still be the holiday book that mysteriously disappears.
I hope that once on line the holiday system automatically saves date & time of request and of authorisation or refusal by MM, and that they (date/time) cannot be changed by any person.
It will be open to fiddle, like everything else
@Nomad
It Informs the colleague when it’s been accepted, however it can still be cancelled/changed by their manager or wages clerk.
So I could request holiday date(s) get it authorised by MM, make my holiday arrangements and then MM could go into the system and change or cancel the booking ?
Sounds great :(
sounds like an absolute load of testes to me. for the benefit of the company only.
If you are talking about the Work and Pay system, any holidays authorised on it and then removed are marked as “withdrawnâ€
To be honest if your store is already on work and pay managers can cancel holidays already, however like Cairney has said, it will show as withdrawn.
I’ll also be honest there’s nothing to stop managers doing it in Hram currently if they have a login/password.
At least with work & pay there’s evidence of them doing it.
Is there a time limit after which authorisation cannot be 'withdrawn' ?
No, you can withdraw it at any point.
I can see the technical need for it to be able to be withdrawn at any point. After all it may be the employee's circumstances that change (other half cannot get the time off where they work for example). But has the policy changed?
Law still applies, double the days booked for notice to cancel.

If it is at any time then that is so wrong, and naughty.
Why?
Are you saying that after a certain amount of time, that a colleague cannot change a booked date off?
I’ll be honest it seems that your just looking for issues with the new system for the sake of it.
Managers being able to cancel holidays on work and pay is no different to hram, only difference is there is now evidence of them doing it and more importantly when.
I’ll also be honest and say yes there are a few managers that will use flaws in a system to their advantage over colleagues, however that is also true of colleagues.
This new system is more open and more importantly there’s a electronic paper trail of everything a Manager or colleague does.
What’s the alternative
Stick with Hram and have the same threads every month regarding holidays and managers or maybe go fully electronic for holiday bookings where computer automatically says no once it’s hit the % limit?
I think nomad means if a manager can cancel your holiday after already granting you it
Exactly. If mm can cancel your authorised holiday booking, how long after authorisation took place can they(mm) cancel it :question: ( without staff members consent )
Some companies pay people very well indeed to look for flaws/issues in IT systems, but not as much as those they pay very very well to write systems without major flaws.
I'd love to see the drama on here if management were locked out of making changes.
What's that Debbie you want to change your holidays because covid led to your flight being cancelled, too bad computer says no.
I dont think anyone has a problem with mutually agreed changes. The point I think that was being made was if debbie was flying on saturday to spain and came to work friday with a sombrero on, then the manager took her in the office to say her hols were cancelled cos 'maureen's goldfish has died so we're short staffed' - would cause some serious upset
grim up north you've put it better than I. I was concerned the initial response was "MM can withdraw holidays" no mention was made of "with mutual consent".
And what’s to stop me doing that right now on Hram?
Absolutely nothing, and if Debbie is unfortunate enough to have lost her confirmation slip, it can be made that there’s no evidence whatsoever of her even requesting the date, never mind it ever being authorised.
At least with work and pay there will be an electronic paper trail to protect Debbie, there’s nothing to protect her currently if she’s unfortunately enough to have lost her confirmation slip, and even then I’ve known managers to say that’s not their handwriting.
Yes holidays should only be cancelled with mutual consent, but we both know managers have cancelled them in the past without this, just like we both know that colleagues have turned up for shifts and clocked in deliberately when they should be on holiday so they can have it somewhere else.
Trust works both ways with this, and with 2 decades with the company I’ve seen managers and colleagues use every trick in the book and then some with holidays.
Work & Pay won’t be perfect or without issues, but at least it will be a more open and transparent way of doing things which is what colleagues keep saying they want.
I know lots of managers and colleagues are happy to stick with Hram and have lots of hours for wage clerks instore as it saves them doing the work, even though it’s out dated, has lots of issues and some wages clerks seem to think they own colleagues wages themselves.
We cannot pick and choose what part of the managers role we want them to do, just because it suits us for whatever reason.
My hope was that on W&P the software logs the date & time of all actions and by whom, and that that log is tamper proof. Absolutely no reason why it cannot be done, it creates safety for staff and MM from false accusations.
Any change/cancellation requires MM and staff member to enter their own password or PIN.
Completely agree Nomad.
Can't say too much other than I had a couple of weeks holiday left to book. Booked, in front of me, with someone other than my Line Manager and used my remaining hours (Line Manager was off work at the time for a short period of time and didn't want to miss out).
Just double checking something earlier on today and someone's taken to removing one week that's coming up without talking to me first... ???
Are you talking about holiday before end of March? Resulting in holidays un-booked.
If days have been removed there is not a lot of holiday year left to re-book. Could it be that domestic time off has been taken earlier in the year. This should be agreed between you and manager but when not agreed at time of ruining it these days are often taken off end of year holidays so it can go through the wages system. It should then be talked through when you come back and if this holiday is required it can be changed. Holidays in these circumstances can be removed and rebooked by the wages clerk. They need to cancel a holiday if fully booked and if taking hols for domestic time off by doing this it prevents you being unpaid.
Have you made a lot of changes to holidays? We can do this, nothing wrong with it but the more times you touch/amend things the greater the chance that mistakes will be made, either by wages or manager, or even yourself.
Hello Redshoes,
Yes it's time off during March; and the week in question is well within the time frame of the 2020/21 holiday window.
Haven't made a lot of changes to my holidays and now we're on W&P when I booked them with a manager they went through absolutely fine and were still showing online until Friday. Department hasn't got too many people off at the time, just me.
And I haven't used all of my holidays, without giving too much away, I even had a couple of hours left over after all of the weeks I'd requested had been processed and submitted.
Thanks for your help though :thumbup:
Could it be a error in the system. That’s why there is a trail just now. It won’t remove errors but might minimise them before it goes to all stores. It sounds like it’s possibly more to do with the system to me. As you say it is booking by hours. It’s a problem if not fully booked and not much holiday year left so I think it’s unlikely to have been cancelled deliberately by someone in store.
Morris speaks the truth, I have been saved numerous times by keeping my holiday slips safein a draw at home ready to be pulled out when needed, more often than not because although agreed my holiday was not entered into the system.
Never had an argument it was just. Ok no worries we forgot see when you get back.
Hey guys first time posting but have been a guest for quite a while ☺
Can somone tell me how to create my own post?

Strange thing, yesterday wages clerk said to me “there is something odd going on here. I have had a few managers come to me and ask me about days being cancelled. I can remember putting them in but for some reason they did not stay in the systemâ€. She said she was getting a hard time from some managers about it and colleagues were confused as had thought booked.
Would love a manager to try and cancel my hols without my consent, would be career busting mistake lol. Once I've booked my hols they don't change, but I know some colleagues that chop and change constantly and these are the ones that are going to cause issues
Big guy, that's great for you , I can only imagine you dont have family with health issues, young kids and have a home where nothing ever breaks . For the normal people some do need to change the odd days holiday because sometimes in life things happen . Personally i've changed more holidays this year than in my many many years in Tesco put together , that due to family illness , thankfully I've an understanding team manager and store manager.
Get what you saying Welshie I'm not getting at those that need to change for family reasons ,it's those that want to change constantly just because they NEED a holiday, and i do have a son with health issues at home
Red Shoes,
When I'm next at work I'll see if our wonderful wages clerk can shed any light for me-my "annoyance" is directed at someone who I suspect has pulled a stunt, hoping I wouldn't notice, if my suspicions are correct.
However I would seek hard evidence first before charging in, guns blazing.

https://colleague-help.ourtesco.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001330786-Holiday-for-colleagues-on-the-Work-Pay-Payroll-System-Full-Policy-and-Supporting-Documents
Hi, haven’t posted in a long time but this post caught my attention as it relates to something I’m curious about.
I’ve never had a problem booking my holidays however my managers now stating that 75% of holidays must be booked and taken by 31st October. I don’t agree with this but maybe I’m wrong.
The policy states “ As a guideline, 75% of your holiday and bank holiday should be taken between 1st April and 31st October, with the balance being taken between 1st November and 31st Marchâ€
The wording was changed to as a guideline and I do believe it’s not mandatory that I have to. I always like to take half my holidays after January and never been an issue.
Is this the case or is my manager right that I must take 75% of my holidays before 31st October?
Apologies if it’s unrelated to the post at hand thanks.
I would say that it comes down to your individual dept. If others can also fit in days remaining I don’t see that it’s an issue. If there with ou taking up so much time in the new year that it some weeks are over booked then that does become an issue. It also means your holidays are not evenly spread throughout the year and again, if this is not an issue that’s fine but if your were off sick and generally run down the evenly spreads of holidays may help.
I know of somebody who goes to Canada every year after Christmas. They take three weeks. It’s not an issue as it’s a small dept and they are not preventing others.
Some managers keep light weeks inThe new year to allow holidays to be rebooked for people who have been off long term and absent during holidays. This is to support areas that have a higher level of colleagues with health issues. Checkouts tends to be one as people tend to drift towards checkouts when they can no longer work on shop floor.
There is not a black and white answer but there are not enough weeks left in the new year for the majority to hold back holidays. Only one or two at most. It’s basic maths.
Hey there,
Of course it’s not an issue in terms of being overbooked etc. I also compromise on that if needed.
I’m merely asking that I’m correct in assuming by the letter of the Tesco law it’s not mandatory that I have to take 75% by 31st October. It’s just a guideline but not compulsory right?
Quick question. I'm trying to book my holidays for 2021/22 & my manager is telling me that all my holidays have to be booked in full weeks. Is this true? Thanks
No.
Anywhere where I can view the policy Nomad?

Holiday policy is on colleague help. Majority should be in full weeks to allow colleagues to get their requests during peak times. As its in the policy now thats what they'll be referring to. What the majority means is might ge open to interpretation. More than half id say. Then request the rest as odd days and there would be no comeback.
If you are on work and pay you now request holiday in hours and part of the reason the company gives for the change is to allow greater flexibility for colleagues when it comes to holiday bookings. In theory you can now book multiple half days or even odd hours off.
There is no reason for you to have to book full weeks off, however you shouldn't try and play the system by booking for example 25 Saturdays off on a area with few staff, which would effectively stop anyone else having a full week off.
As with everything speak to your manager and explain why you need the time off and I'm sure most with try and accommodate your needs.
Is the new holidays by hours a sign that soon we wont be paid for hospital appointments. As you can book a hour or 2 off for appointment?
It’s advised to book some full weeks. We all need time out, a couple of days is not always a big enough break We also need to consider others we work with, as some areas only allow one person off at a time and it would be unfair to take excessive weekends that prevents others from getting them.
Welshie - no idea about what the future will bring - however if you were running a business would you really want to be paying X a full day's wage for a hospital appointment that could well actually only last 30 minutes?
Although having said that I think Tesco would need to think carefully before changing the rules in every case. I cant imagine the firm getting good publicity if after booking 2 hours off to attend hospital X is expected to attend for the rest of their shift after being told they have cancer etc.....
30 minutes in a 9 hour day is all the production time some of these managers contribute, perhaps even less among the head office wonks.

Hi I was just told today we need to put every holiday in today. I asked if I could keep some back. I was told no. I thought you had to put in a percentage. I don't know if I need odd day off for things what come up. I normally keep a few days back. We were told it had something to do with pay roll.
That’s what emergency holidays are for
we were told at least 75% need to be booked
Hi, I was told by my line manager that all my holidays have to be in week blocks and that I am not able to book individual days for long weekends or any other reason. I have been with the company for 9 years and have never been told this before. Is this policy as I believe it says in the holiday policy colleagues "should" try and book most of their holidays in block weeks but does not say the have to.
My manager is adamant that I can only book in block weeks and has refused my holiday request for my 21/22 holidays because of it.
Your manager is speaking rubbish, show him the policy, if he's still difficult involve people partner.
Sorry NightAndDay not sure if your comment was in realtion to the one I made, but if it was then who is people partner and what exactly do they do. I have enlisted the help of a rep to find out where I exactly stand but apart from that I am not sure what else I can do.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
The people partner is your stores "HR Manager" (And I use the term loosely) they are in most cases not to be trusted, but in cases like yours where policy on holidays is clearly stipulated on Our Tesco, provided there is no business case for them to refuse your holiday, they have no reason to not allow non-blocked bookings, it's a preference that they want blocked bookings not an order.
@ocredex remember Tesco update their policies constantly, anyone who is continually giving advice and left Tesco ages ago should maybe put a disclaimer on their posts saying their words may not be gospel.
Policy says most of your holiday should be taken in full weeks then the odd days agreed by your manager.
This was in the feb 2020 policy.
I think thats pretty clear and is probably what your manager is getting at. Not sure how it can be argued otherwise.
It wont say 'must' instead of 'should' to allow flexibility.
I guess if you book more than half of your holidays in full weeks and request the odd days then you will get it approved.
I make no pretense of knowing what policy is, just based off what the OP has already explained i.e "I believe..." I am but a person who's quite clued up on employment law and the lack of personal integrity of a sizable minority of Tesco's managers.
I trust the OP's reading comprehension to be sufficient to deduce whether he is being diddled by the manager in question, I'm just elucidating the fact that if they can pull the wool over his/hers eyes, they will.
@ocredex , surely if you've worked for Tesco for nine years then you could show previous holidays taken to prove your point . Most managers will be quite accommodating UNLESS you are trying to book all weekends or mostly odd days as that can prevent others getting full weeks .
Some of your holidays should be whole weeks. It supports you as gives you block days out the business. It also helps others fit their holidays in. If you only book weekends off it can mean that others that work with you are struggling to fit their holidays in. It's a matter of balance. We don't know how many people you have to compete with regarding holidays but the whole picture needs to be looked at. It could be that others have complained and trying to cover your weekends off has just become so hard. There is also something about Sundays. You only mention weekends but if a Sunday is included in this there is an expectation that you a reasonable amount due to the way the premium is paid.
When we move to work&pay you will be booking time off by the hour. We have had a lot of big changes put in place in the wages system.
Why are holidays such a nightmare at this company? It's that time again when we can start booking holidays for 2022/23, unbelievable isn't it? Our PFS team got a message from our manager saying that we could book holidays from April 1 and it's granted on a first come first served basis. So another colleague and myself will be waiting to pounce on our manager when she turns up for work on Thursday because we both want the same week or two off. It's such a nightmare, there are eleven of us in the PFS, too many to spread over the summer months and give everyone a fair chance of a fair break. Our manager will not have two people off on the same day, sometime she won't let two people off in the same week. I do not know what the official policy is but believe me, the holiday issue in our place causes a great deal of anger. I think after the couple of years we've had, Tesco could be more lenient with holidays and after all, how can we know what we want so far in advance, we can't book flights and so much can and does change. It all seems so unreasonable to me, I've decided to do all I can to get my dates in early, if it's not granted, I'll offer to have the time unpaid and do shift swaps, but I'm having what I want and that will be that.

But if your work shifts are clustered round the weekend then it makes perfect sense to book a weekend of as a block even though that is split over two calendar weeks.
Yes, I agree but that was not what was said. If you work sat/sun and then wed/thurs I get that sat sun gives a a bock few days off but if you book wed/thurs too it gives a longer spell. I once had Tuesday off and I loved it. When we had bh I got sun/mon/tues off. I worked less by then.

It also leaves less weeks for other colleagues to book their holidays . If you have 6 weeks holiday allocation and booked them all like that , it would take 12 full weeks out of holiday diary for someone else .

Because payroll will eventually be managed by hours rather than cash value across the whole estate. We will be able to request part of our shift off rather than a whole shift if eg, you only needed time off for a couple of hours.
Stores would then receive an allowed hours based on how many hours are out of the business. This is why holiday booking is so important this year, especially in convenience as there will not be any money to pay for stores if managers have allowed multiple people off at the same time.

Why should someone else's arrangements for their holidays take priority just because they system is borked and / or they were too late getting their request in? People who prefer to take their holidays as long weekends should not be discriminated against.
Why should others loose out on holidays because someone doesn't want to work weekends , it's ok to book the odd weekend off but policy is most should be booked in full weeks . Which is what OP was asking about
Others won't lose out on the holidays they want if they don't delay putting there request in. It may come as a surprise but many people organise their social life around long weekends (festivals, sports events, retreats etc) and are just as deserving of having their needs met as others.
I think people enjoy being obtuse, for the sake of being obtuse.
Holidays are given to allow one to relax and recharge to prevent 'burn out'.
There are many ways people like to R&R, e.g. a week in the sun on a beach perhaps or weekends attending an event of their interest. No one group should suffer detriment because of the others preference. No one group is right or wrong in their preference.
A company should have enough guile and resources to plan for all parties.

I usually book all my holidays on 1st April every year for the next year, but have been told by manager iwon't be able to do that as new system will be made available to colleagues sometime soon this year. Have booked 2021 to 2022 last April and now want to book 2022 to 2023 on 1st April this April. Can they refuse my holiday booking form? I don't want to wait indefinitely for new system and miss my choice of dates, is my manager just trying it on,? Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks
Got to say, as a team manager booking my holidays on work and pay - it isnt as easy as everyone thinks - cannot believe this will be rolled out to all any time soon ....
Blackbird, holiday policy overrides any new (or otherwise) payroll system. April 1st, if you want to request your 2022/2023 holidays, fill your boots

If only Nomad , then you also wouldn't have to book so far in advance either lol
I think it shows how poorly staffed/resourced a company is when they(company) have to ask staff to book holiday time so far in advance.
Thanks all. I will hand in my photographed request forms on 1st April and await the response with bated breath.. :)
Hi , I got a question, can I ask for parental leave if I don't get my requested holiday. Does anyone knows, please? Thanks
I think but could be wrong that parental leave is a "last minute" thing so you could ask closer to time needed .
Can my manager refuse my request for parental leave to cover half term holidays, please? As I know parental leave is available for parents to look after children, spend more time as family and welfare of kids. Does someone know or have any experience with it please? Thank you
I think what you're actually looking to book is , time off for dependants . Yet again I think it is for unforeseen circumstances and half term break is not unforeseen. I can't seem to access the policy online since theyve changed the our Tesco website .
It might depend on how flexible your manager is .
@kidder ignore my last post . Unpaid Parental Leave (apparently different to parental leave) is requested on a leave form at least 21 days in advance . You are entitled to 4 weeks per year for each child you have . It does not state on the policy if it can be refused .
Thank you for your help, Really appreciate it
Hello , just was wondering what's going on with holidays, please. My manager took my holiday form for year 2022/ 2023 . My partner who works on nights was told that they can't take his as they are going on online booking system from 1.7.2021 and he can book his holidays for next year from 1.4.2022. Does anyone knows what going on, please? Thank you for reply. ( I have to book mine asap because lady who works with my wants same dates which is a pickle. I'm thinking of moving department if possible. )
Hi Kidder,
I know Managers book their holidays online through Work & Pay but at the moment, as far as I'm aware, our Managers should be sitting down with us and booking holidays 'the old fashioned way' and then they go onto the system and put the time off on the system.
They are even posting their holidays on WhatsApp to by first. I can't beat that.. I was trying to talk to her to decide what she is booking but she just wants all specialy easter holidays and May half term. I'm happy with one of these weeks. I told that to my manager so just have to wait and see.
Would anyone happen to have a holiday form I could download, seeing my manager is an absolute nightmare 🙄
You could just knock on office door and ask whoever is in the office at the time, loads of them there

Hello , just was wondering what's going on with holidays, please. My manager took my holiday form for year 2022/ 2023 . My partner who works on nights was told that they can't take his as they are going on online booking system from 1.7.2021 and he can book his holidays for next year from 1.4.2022. Does anyone knows what going on, please? Thank you for reply. ( I have to book mine asap because lady who works with my wants same dates which is a pickle. I'm thinking of moving department if possible. )
Whether work and pay or not, they should take them as it may be delayed, its estimated for September release to stores instead of just managers and trials, but with current issues it could be longer, so they can always look at it again later once they have a definitive date... You could always say put it down as the hours and you'll adjust it later if need be. 😂
Thank you, he did take the holiday form. Where I are work, we have 2 ladies working on GM. Does that mean they can't be off at the same time. They don't even work same days. Previous manager allowed 2 people off but now they are not allowed to have same week off. If you have one person working on department they can have off when they want and no-one works there all week. Is there anything that can be done about that? Does anyone have experience with that, please? Thanks 😊
Can I book my holiday for year 2023/24 in January 2022 or did I have to wait till 1.4.2022, please? I know is way to early but I don't want to be one hour late than my colleague and loose out as tesco police first come first served is not fer when you have kids. Someone gets all holidays and other person get nothing. Any experience in this matter, please? Thank you 😊
