Government workers are giving themselves a payrise by cashing up annual leave (www.thepost.co.nz)

I take issue with the article's assertion that it's a "sneaky payrise" as if it's somehow dishonest.

I've done this before after accumulating several years worth of leave due to a previous employer having strange ideas about project management and the mythical man-month.

I suppose I was kind of pressured into it, but I also liked having a pseudo-bonus that year.

That would be nice but the company I work for has us use our days or we get nothing.

Well they switched to a new system last year and now any unused days carry over to the next year.

In NZ?

The holidays act is quite clear that annual leave cannot be forfeited at all, ever. If you've lost leave your employer has acted illegally. Consult a union rep or a lawyer.
