Holiday Year

The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December. All leave entitlements are calculated within this period.

Entitlement

You are entitled to 28 days paid holiday per year, including bank and public holidays. For the purposes of calculating entitlement, one week equals 7 days. If you start or leave part-way through the year, your entitlement is calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Requesting Leave
