Holiday entitlement
Insert holiday entitlement
You are entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday per year for a full time working week. Part time
and flexible employees will have their holiday entitlement proportionate to their normal
hours of work as stated in the terms and conditions of employment. Your holiday
entitlement is therefore equivalent to 12.07% of the hours you work, based on your
average weekly hours of work, in the preceding 12 weeks in which you work.
This will include a pro rata entitlement to Public Holidays. If you join the Company part
way through a holiday year you are entitled to the appropriate portion of leave based
on the number of completed months of service.
You may take no more than two weeks holiday at any one time except in exceptional
circumstances – see below. As far as possible, leave should be taken in blocks of whole
working weeks.
There will be no unpaid leave unless in exceptional circumstances.
