What if that leaves no cover where they work? There is a reason you might need to stagger people's holidays, that is pretty standardGive them their holidays then.

What do you do when people are off sick? A well run business surely has the capacity to cope when the odd person is off either sick or on holiday.

The key point is "odd person off", the leave was obviously turned down as the margins were too slim to allow it and then the individual has called in sick (during half term) which looks very suspect.
That's pretty much the answer there. Also, how big do you think all businesses are? How much spare do you think there is? People can move around, possibly, but it inconvenient and can have a knock on effect.
Equally, throw in the smaller business where it becomes a real struggle if multiple people are off? They can cope if they absolutely have to, short term, but if someone is deliberately inconveniencing the company.........

Sometimes, for the smaller businesses the old factory fortnight looks a good option. Have the vast majority of staff scheduled to be off at the same time. By all means have some admin in manning the phones.

That is effectively what we do. We closely fully over Christmas and for 1 week in August. These are compulsory holidays. Other days are taken at their choice but the staff know that they can not all be off at the same time. There is plenty of give and take so we have no issues.

Went to see Talking Sopranos yesterday, loved the show and got to hear some behind the scenes stories etc. However, they did a Q&A and it just felt like the people asking the questions, from the audience, had just come down from space.

A relief Rd is being built across the south of the town...when it's eventually finished it'll be great apart from I area.
A road to one of the villages intersects this new road....this road used to be relatively straight.
Instead of building the junction where the 2 roads meet they've built 500 metres or so of new road the moves the junction about 150 metres.
This was designed by a complete and utter moron....there are bends that cannot be negotiated by 2 cars at the same time as they are too sharp, there is a chicane that will cause a crash within days as, again, it's too sharp and there's the smallest of small mini roundabouts to get you back onto the old road - anything bigger than a Fiesta sized car has to cut the roundabout otherwise it just isn't getting round.
Obviously designed by a computer and, funnily enough, computers don't drive....
Another road to avoid like the plague.......
