Now how will I swing a couple of days off this week ......

Well Rich, I hope to be building a house up Scarr and need to discuss various logistical issues pertaining to sofas and such, access road is not in yet so we better bring our bikes.

Every employee has the legal right to take up to 4 (i think) "force majure" days
not many people know this!

Conditions: you must not tell your employer why you are taking them and of course you cannot book them in advance either
You have to say you are taking "a force majure day and will not be in work today"
Its for unexpected personal events that occur and which prevent you from going to work
sick kids, travel problem,mtb race,
go for it!

it's this sort of cr1p that has the country in bits
every employee whinges like mad when their jobs go to china/Poland etc!! If you worked for me you could have the rest of the year off "force majure".:mad: I suppose you are OLDSCHOOL like bertie and the boys ;-)
Hows about a 4pm road spin Wednesday and Friday and an 8am MTB Spin up 3 Rock on Saturday?
Had a lovely road spin this afternoon, perfect weather for it.

Surley you can sly in a few spins at that time of the day, my boss said ok!!!
Would anybody be surprised to know that Force Majeur days were introduced in to European employment legislation by a GREEK MEP, a one time folk singer, so that are also known by their nickname of Nana Maskuries :):):)

what about a wild-cat strike?

by the way, most people get those 3 force majeure days without even realising it each year. its the only thing that stops me from burning all my holidays up sitting at home or in Temple St with sick children!
Force Majeure Rocks!
Terry's just jealous
If he finds force majeure written onto the price tags on his photos in Mugs cafe - it wasn't me!
