Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.NIRESH REGMI

My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager's discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks

Cause of the economic collapse
The work ethic described in the article and the supporting comments is exactly what causes jobs to be off shored and recessions to happen.
You only have yourself to blame.

Grow up, facebook-cleansers
I have to agree that this guy WAS sick, whether or not it was self inflicted shouldn't matter.
I hope the legacy of facebook will be that people realise that actually, letting loose occasionally is perfectly normal and healthy. I wish these internet-face cleansing twats who feel the need to lie about their lives, and the management they hope to impress, would just grow the fuck up.
I thought...
...that Charlie Benante was the drummer with Anthrax?
Mines the leather one with the sick stains down the back
