Holidays

Annual Leave Overview

Details of your annual leave entitlement can be found in your contract of employment. Annual leave must be agreed with your manager as early as possible and before you make any plans. The Company will, where possible, try to accommodate individual preferences for annual leave dates but the needs of the business may have to take precedence, particularly where short or inadequate notice is given.

• The annual leave year runs from 1st April
• Employees are entitled to request to book annual leave once 6 month of continuous employment has been completed. At the discretion of the Company, some periods of annual leave not exceeding 2 working days may be approved.
• All annual leave requests should be sent to your line manager for approval
• A minimum of 20 days’ notice should be given when requesting annual leave, but you should give as much notice as possible
• The Company will aim to provide a response to all annual leave requests within 7 days of the point at which the manager receives the request. If an employee does not receive a response within that timeframe they should speak to their manager
• Employees are advised not to make any plans/holiday bookings until the annual leave request has been approved
• No more than 10 consecutive annual leave days may be booked without the express approval of the Directors
  
  

Each employee is responsible for ensuring they use all their annual leave entitlement for their holiday year, employees are not permitted to carry over any unused annual leave entitlement to the next holiday year. The Company does not make payments in lieu of any unused holiday entitlement.

Please refer to the Annual Leave policy for further information.
