SECTION4: BENEFITS

4.1 Annual Leave
Unless greater holiday provision is made in your individual contract of employment, you will be
entitled to 20 days holidays on an annual basis (excluding public holidays) or as outlined below.
Employees must retain a minimum of four days annual leave for the Christmas period.
4.1.1 Calculation of Holiday Entitlement

Where employees have worked less than a full year or less than 1,365 hours in that leave year,
the employee will be entitled to one-third of a working week for each month in the leave year in
which he or she works at least 117 hours, or 8 per cent of the hours actually worked in a leave
year (subject to a maximum of four working weeks leave).

All employees who have worked for eight months or more, working at least 117 hours per
month, will be entitled to an unbroken period of two weeks holidays.

All Annual Leave will be approved at the Company's discretion. However, the Company will
agree holidays with the employee bearing in mind work/operational requirements,
opportunities for rest and recreation and family responsibilities of the employee.
4.1.2 Illness during Annual Holiday
If you fall ill during a holiday and submit a medical certificate covering the day(s) in question,
you will be granted alternative days off in lieu.

4.1.3 Applying for Annual Leave
To apply for holiday leave, you must:

• Complete an Annual Leave Request Form

• Discuss the matter with a Partner/Director as far in advance as possible. Ideally,
you should give six weeks’ notice of your request to take annual leave.

• Annual Leave is granted on a first come first served basis while also reviewed on
the basis of the operational requirements of the business.
