That was me last year, it has turned around. Now our subs get forced to other offices every week. Difficult as it is just have a little faith, also make sure you put in leave slips. Keep the denied forms so when you go over you can at least get monetary compensation.

If you’re over the carryover limit and have denied leave slips for that amount of days, do you file under Article 10.2.b and get paid out for # of days over?

I got paid out, I let DR handle wording like they asked me to. Had a little over 37 leave slips denied was easy win. They paid me out to exactly the maximum no more no less.
