thing is, we've got a budget for drivers, and, if i let 3 people off during the same days i have to fill them with 3 agency guys
anyone who knows the agency's knows that they cost mroe to emply than the normal full timers so i will effectivly be paying for 7 people to do the work of 3 where as with just 2 people off i save myself the agency driver fees to cover the holidaying driver (who also get's paid as he's on holiday)
i'm going to speak to the boss and see what he says
