    It depends on your companys policy about unpaid leave. Mine doesn't allow it and I wouldn't imagine most companies would allow you to book days willy nilly that are unpaid. Maye if it's for a special event like a wedding or something. Check with the company is the best thing.

    As shoppergal says, it's entirely at the companies discretion. You need to ask your employer. I'll also add that legally (with a few conditions) an employer has almost complete discretion regarding when employees take annual leave.

    For single days, your entitlement would be qualifying all the time. Lets say for example, that you are entitled to 26 standard days per annum. Each two weeks worked of standard days would entitle you to a day's annual leave.

    Most employers are reasonable anyway. If you had no entitlement, I presume a day could be granted if required and worked up for afterwards. If the worst came to the worst, all they would have to do is deduct a day's pay.

    I work in staff administration and often find that employees are many days over their entitlement. We just take it of future entitlements.

    As said it depends on your caompany/contract and the likes.

    Some bosses will let you do time off in lieu, basically you work up 8 hours overtime and then take a day off or whatever!!

    In the current economic climate, I'd imagine most companies would be very glad to have their employees take unpaid leave - provided arrangements were in place to make sure that the work got done.

    Friends working at a multi-national, through an agency, were recently asked to consider taking five days unpaid leave. Apparently they couldn't be forced, so were asked very nicely. Ironically, the agency had to communicate the message to them, and it was in the agency's interests (unpaid days = less commission) for them to say "no"!
