SPT future dates

DoublemeDoubleme Member Posts: 2,147
So I have to give four weeks notice to get any time off from work, though I will prolly end up back at the warehouse I struggling as a chef and they will prolly fire me.

However that may just be my anxiety prolly should think carefully before that winni trade if I do the trade or not maybe its to risky.

anyway Much to most of the communities delight I wont be going to Manchester on this one I failed to qualify online.
Since I need to give four weeks notice hopes to know of future ones so I can book of. I have to take 3 weeks of in Jan as the restaurant been closed in Jan for refurbishment or something. The thing is they say that I have to use up all my holiday its mandatory in those 3 weeks but I was saving my holiday allowance for May/June one of my modules is all coursework and the other the stats one which very big is all exam. my plan was to get the last coursework finished for the coursework module a few weeks early and then have a whole month to cram cram cram for the exam. (I know learning last month from scratch is bad idea this will be revision not vision) but its my final modules of the degree and I wanted to save all holiday time to have that off no need for time of in jan. I guess I could work shifts in the warehouse or for the agency in them 3 weeks but then would get killed with holiday pay combined with this over tax, I would get it back many years layter but not now so would leave me out of pocket. I mean if I get time off in may/June wont be holiday pay for all of it will have to be unpaid. as said I could have just banked the cash from the bumper holiday and working elsehwher ebut tax it annoying.

anyway any spts or nout going on in jan? if I do win a sunday major sat can I bank it and ask to be registered in jan?

    I don't imagine the 2024 Sky Poker Tour dates will be formulated until the 2023 Tour is complete, & we still have one this weekend & in all probability another (perhaps a "Grand Final") in November or December.


    "if I do win a sunday major sat can I bank it and ask to be registered in jan?"

    Sunday Major satellite? Do you mean a Sunday Major Freeroll? Can't really move a satellite won on a Sunday night, but if you mean from the nightly Freeroll, yes, it can be deferred if you contact me in plenty of time, I cannot guarantee to be present all & every Sunday evening though.

    If you win an SPT satellite, the Promo Page states;


    4. Any seat won through satellites not used during the SPT Manchester may be used at a future SPT event. These seats can also be put towards the cost of higher buy in events. e.g a seat + £80 could be used to enter a £330 buy in SPT. At least one of the player's seats must be used in Manchester to be allowed to carry over any spare seats.

    thanks for confirming if I had qualified on a sunday for the Major that day I would not have work that day because I work long days and would be at work the only way this could happen is if I played and qualified at work, which would not be feasible in a kitchen unless I quickly registered to an all in and sat and won which I believe is at 19.50 there is no way i would expect that to be delayed and wouldnt try it unless I had sunday off.

    I was more getting at during the week its fantastic if I can just bank them for Janurary in which case I can play the major free rolls now and hopefully bank 3 then stop and have every sunday for when I am off work in jan I could also save my tickets for tournies on other sites and suddenly then just have a whole load of tourney entries all booked for my three weeks off.

    Hi David

    Most Holiday entitlements renew every April ......Check your contract, but you should get
    a whole new lot of holidays starting April 2024. :)

    thanks for this I have already though, holiday does not expire so weirdly I could save up holiday for five years and book it all off at once that was my interpretation of the contract and how it was explained to me as well but does seem odd unfortunately I cant post the contract on here for many reasons.

    I am taking the time off in May/June paid or unpaid if they wont let me have it off then I will just offer my notice its the final bit of the degree and I dont want to blow it. However I hope it does not come to that. I could request temporary transfer for this period and only lose the holiday days that I did not manage to get work at other sites. However not sure how all that works but thats a company thing.
