Temporary Shortage of Work
If there is a temporary shortage of work for any reason, we will try to maintain
your continuity of employment even if this necessitates placing you on short-
time or having to lay you off work without pay other than statutory guarantee
pay.
Pensions
If you wish to join the Company pension scheme and subject to your eligibility,
we will make the necessary arrangements. Please contact Jayne Bonfield for
further details.
In order to reward and encourage loyalty to the Company, we operate a policy
whereby we increase our contribution to your pension scheme in line with
your length of service. Upon joining the Company and successful completion
of your probation period, you will be entitled to receive a contribution from
the Company to your pension scheme which equates to 2% of your salary
each month. Upon reaching three years’ service, the Company will increase its
contribution to the equivalent of 3% of your salary each month. Upon reaching
four years’ service, the Company will increase its contribution to the equivalent
of 4% of your salary each month. Upon reaching five years’ service, the
Company will increase its contribution to the equivalent of 5% of your salary
each month. Your entitlement to the contribution by the Company of 3% or 4%
or 5% of your annual salary is contingent upon you also contributing at least 3%
or 4% or 5% of your annual salary into the Plan.

Annual Holidays
Your annual holiday entitlement is shown in your contract of employment. It
is our policy to encourage you to take all of your holiday entitlement in the
current holiday year. We do not permit holidays to be carried forward into the
following holiday year.
In order to reward and encourage loyalty to
the Company, we operate a policy whereby
we increase your holiday entitlement in line
with your length of service. Upon joining the
Company you will be entitled to 25 days’
leave each year. Upon reaching three years’
service, the Company will increase your holiday
entitlement to 26 days’ leave each year and
upon reaching five years’ service, the Company
will increase your holiday entitlement to 27
days’ each year.
