[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1012847, member: 72205"] I read every working contact I've signed but it does amazes people who don't. There are usually interesting little tidbit company to company and there is certainly no such thing as a standard contract. I had a petty fractious relationship with an old boss and I wanted to buy some leave which was in my contact for up to 5 days a year (actually this amounted to authorised unpaid leave but it was sold as buying days). As a person I'm quite to go essentially 5 days unpaid throughout the year to get an extra week holiday. He basically pulled me aside and asked why I was the only one in his team ever taking it and it was really suspicious I was. Now the terms of my contrract said the only thing I was obligated to do when requesting it was to was follow standard notice procedures for any leave and it couldn't be refused unless a business case could be made (this has never happened to me in 13 years in the industry). So I had to point out it was in my contract and I didn't have to explain myself and if he wanted to say I couldn't do it anymore I'd be going down HR to make a official complaint. Needless to say he backed off but I don't think he even realised it was allowed by our contracts and the probable reason nobody used it was they didn't realise it was in theirs either because the company never promoted it.
