Holidays, time off and notice periods

[Rhystree]

I'm looking for a bit of advice from employers and people who are employed in our industry. How much notice do you as a PAYE employed person have to give your employer for days off for holiday? And as an employer how much notice do you require?

 

Do employers have a set period of notice or do they say try me and I will try to accommodate your holiday time off. Obviously with this unfair treatment could occur if one person has time off at short notice and not another.

 

What's a reasonable period of notice to ask for? It would be great to get a few views on this. I'm talking about holiday time off, not going to funerals, my child's had an accident or my wife's in labour days off.

Thanks everyone
