Holidays

                  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.

                                                                         st
                  The holiday period runs between the 1  April and the 31  March.

                  Leave  may  not  be  carried  over  from  one  leave  year  to  the  next,  unless  specific
                  permission is given. Leave not taken will be lost, unless specific permission is given.
