9. Annual Leave, Sickness and Abscence

9.1 Annual Leave

The company provides 20 days annual leave
plus 8 additional bank holidays in the UK and
9 in Ireland as an allocation for full time
employees, other contract types or employees
that commence work part way through the
holiday year will receive this amount pro
rata. The holiday year is as follows: -

1 January to 31 December – Ireland
1 April - 31 March - UK

All employees must submit a holiday request form to their manager ideally 4
weeks before the proposed start date of the holiday. You must wait for
approval before a holiday is booked or paid for. Not all holidays can be
approved as we have to ensure that there is sufficient cover. Approvals are
made on a first come, first served basis so please make your plans early and
get the approval before you book your trip. The company may at times request
you to take holidays during a specific time, i.e. if the hotel or office is
closed over the Christmas period.

If you want to take more than 2 weeks leave at any one time, you will need to
get approval from the General Manager/ Head of Function and should give as
much notice as possible for this request so that your shifts can be covered
effectively.
All holidays should be used within the holiday year and it is our policy not
to allow holidays to be carried forward – we want you to take the leave that
you are entitled to so that you have time away to refresh and rest. If, in
exceptional circumstances, due to the needs of the business you are unable to
take your holiday entitlement, your Manager can make a request to Group HR
for carry over. If this is agreed, the outstanding holiday must be taken
within 13 weeks or will be forfeited.

Additional Annual leave days are awarded for long service and additional
annual leave days can be bought.
