What You Should Know About Pet Friendly Jordan Vacations

By Catherine Cole


If someone says to you "Cheap holidays" what do you instantly think of? Is it a grubby 2-star apartment in the middle of nowhere or a relaxing holiday that is just what you are looking for? Anyone who has never been on a cheap holiday before might be a little concerned about booking one (especially if they have heard some of the 80s horror stories about them), but there is no need to worry. Thankfully times have changed, and so have the cheap holidays that are now on offer. With this in mind here is a beginner's guide to cheap holidays that can help you to get the Jordan vacations you want at a vastly reduced price.

In the "old days, " many employers tended not to differentiate between the various types of absence and reacted less than graciously if somebody who had been off sick put in a holiday request. "Haven't they had enough time off?" the indignant manager would ask. Those days are gone; the law recognizes that sickness absence is time off to enable an employee to recover from illness or injury which prevents them from working, whereas holiday is time off for rest, relaxation, and leisure.

However, the legal position regarding the interface between sickness and holidays has been muddled for some time, which is not helpful to employers. Issues can arise both when a person falls ill before or during their holidays, and when somebody who is off sick for a long time wishes either to take a holiday or carry forward their unused holiday entitlement to the following year.

Be prepared to do a little research when you are looking for your cheapest holidays; most travel agents will want you to book full price holidays and try to steer you towards them. However, if you have a limited budget for your holiday stick to your guns and you will be able to find a holiday that is perfect for you and your bank balance.

But if a person becomes unwell or injured while on holiday, perhaps abroad, there are practical issues to be considered. What kind of proof should an employer ask for, to substantiate claims of illness? How can the duration of the illness be determined for sick pay purposes? What if the employee is in a place where it is difficult to get a medical certificate? What about notification procedures? Normally, an employer will expect a telephone call on the first day of sickness; is it reasonable to ask for a call from an employee who is on holiday? What if they are in a remote location with no mobile phone reception?

Remember, we are all ambassadors for pet holiday owners, the more we can assure pet-friendly rental property owners that we want to look after their properties while we are on holiday, the more places will be made available for us to go on cat holiday, dog holiday or any pet holiday.

If you don't find anything suitable at first, keep trying. Cheap holidays become available at a moment's notice, and sometimes you have to keep looking to find the best holiday deal for you. Remember that cheap holidays give you the same as a full price holiday and no one knows that you got your holiday cheaper than they did - unless you want to tell them that is!

Moving on to the vexed question of accrued holiday entitlement when people are on long-term sick leave, a Court of Appeal case in the UK has now clarified that unused holiday is carried forward automatically from one year to the next, and is not dependent upon the person specifically asking for it to be carried forward. Employers cannot say: "Use it or lose it" in sickness situations.
