The pre-agreed holiday should therefore be taken out of the employee's annual entitlement.</p><p>The employee is complaining and has claimed there is a 'rule' which dictates any pre-agreed holiday prior to starting a new role should be given as additional leave and should not be taken out of their annual entitlement. I have looked but cannot find anything on this 'rule'. Is anyone else aware of this and would you agree with my opinion above?</p><p>Thanks so much!</p><p>Sophie</p></div>EU Votehttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/human-resources/eu-vote2016-06-23T08:28:12.000Z2016-06-23T08:28:12.000ZBecky Blackhttps://community.dpgplc.co.uk/members/BeckyBlack<div><p>How has everyone been communicating with their staff about the EU vote? If at all?</p>
<p>I came across this article the other day:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cipd.co.uk/pm/peoplemanagement/b/weblog/archive/2016/04/18/should-you-tell-your-staff-how-to-vote-in-the-eu-referendum.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.cipd.co.uk/pm/peoplemanagement/b/weblog/archive/2016/04/18/should-you-tell-your-staff-how-to-vote-in-the-eu-referendum.aspx</a></p>
<p>and was of the opinion that we should not communicate anything - however yesterday, our Senior Partners made the decision to issue a statement about why the business leaders would be supporting the remain campaign. This statement was emailed to staff this morning (from HR email) and has welcomed nothing but negativity.....messenger being well and truly shot! </p>
<p>What's everyone else's experience??</p>

<p>I especially like the 6 months' leave arrangement in Sweden to start your own business, now that would have been very handy ;-)</p>
