I traditionally put a leave pass in on the day before (locally booked) leave started, but got a hint that a right royal shafting was just around the corner. Therefore put several sets of leave in via JPA knowing too well that they would require cancelling. You cannot cancel via JPA which is a pain. However come 'carry across' time next year, I should have a water tight case for keeping all lost leave as my 'intent' is beyond question.
Travelling time?? WTF is that? Have I been missing something all these years?
