Poorly Handled; Ernst & Young Involuntary Xmas Leave of Absence
Posted by The Spy | Posted in Ernst & Young, Firm Gossip | Posted on 8.12am
With offices set to close over the Christmas break, it is interesting to see how the different firms are managing the shut down. We invite you to tell us how and for how long your office will close. Are you being given extra leave? Is it forced, involuntary leave?
Apparently staff at EY are none too happy with the involuntary leave being thrust upon them. This from an anonymous EY spy over the weekend:
Ernst and Young have shut down for 3 weeks during the Christmas break… this seems mighty similar to those people who were forced to take 3 weeks unpaid leave at PwC except they get to choose when to take theirs!
Indeed, PwC did implement an involuntary a leave of absence scheme earlier in the year which offered staff a choice of when they could take a total of three weeks leave over the course of the year. Similarly, KPMG implemented the “Temporary Work Arrangement” which availed to both staff and partners a range of means to manage any further reductions in work flows. However, given that work has picked up, it appears that the partners are attempting to resile from what was (we think) a reasonably generous original offer.
And this now leaves us with Ernst & Young: the firm that apparently decided against the implementation of any device to save jobs during the downturn or to give staff an opportunity to be heard in making decisions about leave. Poorly handled?
