Annual leave

[buzzyb]

I need some advice on employment law and annual leave

I want to book a period of leave in June/July. All leave has been approved except for one day ie day 8 out of 10. My manager has told me unless I can get a colleague to cover my shift as overtime that days leave cannot be approved - all other days are covered. If no one is prepared to do the overtime this days leave will not be approved and I cannot arrange my holiday.

I feel this is unreasonable as four months notice has been given and my manager has put the onus of finding cover for my shift onto me. I am a security assistance and even though another person will be on shift that day my manager insists I arrange cover to ensure two people as required.

I have emailed my colleagues and no one is prepared to do the overtime because the required day is a Saturday.

Can an employer legally be this unreasonable?
