Additional information
- Annual Leave & Public Holiday Entitlement for Non-Standard working patterns should always be worked out in hours and includes Public Holiday entitlement within the calculation
- Annual Leave & Public Holiday Entitlement should be rounded to one decimal place
- When annual leave is taken, this must be taken in full hours only i.e. someone with 21.4 hours could only take 21 hours and the 0.4 would carry forward and be added to other hours gained in any one leave year.
- Part Time employees must receive Public Holidays pro-rata to their hours of work.
- When a public holiday falls on the day the employee normally works, then the normal working hours must be deducted from their entitlement total.
