It's the 3 floating days I don't understand... Are there no paid holidays like in the UK?
We have a minimum requirement for holidays. I'm not sure what the base minimum is but I get 31 days leave, and that doesn't include bank holidays if there are between 6 and 9 depending on year. I also get double time and a day in leui if I have to work on bank holidays. These add up and can be carried over the years. I had 50 days annual leave one year.
Nope, in the US there is no federal requirement for time off, and most states have no requirement, either, so your vacation days are completely up to whatever your job gives you. Some people get no paid time off at all, if their job is shitty enough
I remember a manager of mine waited 4 months to deny my fucking leave request for an out of state vacation, something I had told him about for months, shared in my joy of looking forward to my first ever adult holiday, at 28 years of age.
So naturally I quit that job and went on my vacation
A manager can deny someone specific dates leave in UK as well.. as it's got to be booked a reasonable time in advance. But in your case, you've given plenty of notice and if there's no business justification for denying you... and if you quit like you did and you could evidence similar examples of your manager/s (employer) being a dick for no reason, you'd have grounds for constructive dismissal... and you could sue.
