Hi,
i feel my partner is being treated unfairly at work. He has worked for his employer for 14 years now and is the manager of the department he works in. This time last year there was 4 members of staff in the department, him, the assistant manager, an improver and an apprentice. Since then the other 3 have walked out because they have not been happy with the way the boss has treated them, they have replaced the improver and brought in a part time worker aswell. His boss knows he will struggle without him. My partner went into work today and asked if he could book a week off work in August as we had planned to take our children on holiday in the summer holidays and he has refused him the time off. Saying that the holidays go from April to april and he has already had 4 days off this year (which he took off for hospital appointments because he may need surgery on his bladder). He said he now has to accumilate the holidays so he cant have a week off now till september. One of our children is starting his GCSE's this year so a holiday in September isnt an option to us.
I think he is doing this because he knows he wont be able to open the shop without him as he is the most experienced. Yet he has allowed two other members of staff to have 2 weeks holiday already this year.
Is this fair? can he do this?
