    Annual Leave & AWOL

    Thanks for your reply. She has worked for me for 12 months. There is no contract or handbook, my own fault, I make no apologies for that. She didn't actually request anything at first, she sent me an email telling me her mum had booked her a holiday and it was on XX dates and that was that...

    Fixing computers / earning extra cash
