Does one have to take the 42 day leave all at once
Maximum 3 weeks in any one go.
You can bid for 3 chunks of 'peak' leave (summer, xmas, Easter)
Also 3 chunks of non-peak leave.
You will only be awarded one peak leave slot and the dates can be vastly different to your bid.
DEC s integrate well here as long as they adopt the EK philosophy. For details on EK philosophy click
