holiday structure

Hello I just wanted to check something regarding holidays

Many of our team work shift patterns 4,5 or 6 days a week. We know what it will be in advance however when it comes to booking holiday regardless if they worked a 4, 5 or 6 day week we will consider a week’s holiday as 5 days

I dont think that this should be allowed as staff have the right to book off the actual days they would be working for example

Employee works Feb

7th WORKS
8th WORKS

9th WORKS

10th WORKS

11th
12th
13th

14th WORKS

15th WORKS

16th WORKS

17th WORKS

18th WORKS

19th
20th

my boss would class this as 2 weeks off as 10 days holiday and pay as such…although the employee will have had by the end of the year the correct pay in holiday you can see that he isnt actually having 10 days holiday. i would say this 2 weeks holiday for this memeber of staff was 9 days and out of a 20 days ent he has 11 days left...if you do it my bosses way he would have 10 days left to book

As its shifts patterns I want to check if my boss can do this or not as i feel that the team should be allowed off their actaul days and its not right? as the lose a day in actual time off although they get it in pay

What are the rights of the staff regarding this anyone?

my boss has also banned booking less than a week off which i also think isnt right as it is the employees holiday to book as they wish. Can my boss do this also

I read that to mean the tourism industry as a whole .....all the different forms . For instance you have eco tourism as in diving on the Great Barrier Reef , National Parks , Uluru... Adventure tourism as in four wheel drive safaris , sailing holidays , deep sea fishing safaris etc .
