This is in the UK, England.
I work a retail job and I have 93 hours of PTO/holiday that I can use between April 2023 – March 2024. I put in all my requests for that time period and the manager rejected two days I requested off (November 24th and November 25th) because she says I need to keep some holiday for after Christmas, so the time between January – March. But I don't want to do that.
I'm fine with not having any PTO/holiday for those three months. Should I tell her I definitely want those days off and I don't mind having no holiday for the rest of the months?
Or is there some rule saying that employees in the UK can't go a certain time without having holiday/PTO?
