Denti I think I know the country you may be thinking of. The bit about days off being known 14 days in advance intrigues me. I have heard rumours of companies where the roster is only issued a week before the month end. It is perfectly possible to get an off day on day one of the new roster. If the rules mean that the roster must in effect be issued 14 days in advance that would be great news. But I am sceptical that this is anything other than a company agreement. I would be delighted if I am wrong.
