Annual Holiday Policy and Procedure #3

Human Resources Absence, Holidays and Sickness Region: | Reference: WPA02

This policy governs both holiday entitlement and the process to book holidays. It sets out the minimum legal requirements in relation to annual leave and also includes specific guidance relating to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and furlough leave. The policy has been amended to update the reference period to calculate holiday entitlement for those with irregular hours of work from 12 weeks to 52 weeks. Amendments have also been made to update the travel restrictions and holiday carry over.
