Long holiday?

Next week suppose to be a long holiday for my company as production will shut down during Hari Raya. I can take the whole week off and enjoy the long holiday and maybe go for the vacation. But my department left only 2 people working. Me and another girl, she planned to go back to her hometown. So, I need to standby.

“Standby” means that I need to be around my company area, and you can claim over time allowance if they call you for support.
My boss tried to act cute and told me that I can just take leave and if any one call I need to come in for the support. I was like “Hello!!! Then why I need to take leave as I need to standby, better still I just cancel my leave and work like normal.”

With leave applied and I come in to work I only can claim Over time allowance and not even replacement leave. So, I argued with my boss and cancel my leave and that result will keep my leave balance unchanged.

So, there is no long holiday for me next week as I need to work instead of “Standby”.
