Didn't know whether to stick this in here or law, and also not sure why I didn't ask on here sooner.
Boyfriend works for Tesco, has done for almost a year I think, on a part time basis, 12 hours pw, recently going up to about 30. We (myself, mum and dad) are going on holiday on the 18th July, and he is coming with us. He notified Tesco that he would like the time off months ago (I think it was end of January/start of February) and they have consistently refused.
He has arranged cover for most of it (still looking for the rest) and offered to take it unpaid, but they are still refusing. Where can we go from here? He has to give a weeks notice, and whilst we're looking for other jobs for him (he's going back to college in September) I doubt we could turn it around quickly enough.

Has he spoke to the personel manager, they are normally pretty accomodating, but i would say i personally wouldn't have booked the holiday untill i knew i had the time off, or if it was booked before he joined, Tesco honour holidays booked so i don't know what the reasons are for refusing it, does your boyfriend actually know?
The law is on their side, unfortunately, but I can't understand why they're being like that. It must just be one manager who's a bit of a prat.
I just don't understand why they are being so shit about it, as far as I know they haven't given a reason.
I think pulling a sickie would get him fired (his manager warned the team leader to keep an eye on him over it!), and his parents won't let him go at all unless he has another job to come back to.
