How much annual leave am I entitled to?

Your annual leave entitlement will be noted in your contract of employment from NES.

Your annual leave is allocated on a pro rata basis per rotational placement.  This means that you must endeavour to take your allocated leave during any given placement. You will not be permitted to carry over accrued but unused annual leave entitlement into subsequent rotational placements and/or between leave years, save in exceptional circumstances.

If you are in Less Than Full Time Training your entitlement shall be pro-rata proportionate to your hours of work. For example, if you are working less than full time at 60% and work on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, you are entitled to a pro rata Bank Holiday entitlement based on the standard ten days which can be taken at another time.

Although an entitlement, all annual leave must be arranged and approved in accordance with the local arrangements in your placement Board/General Practice.

Please see attached circular setting out designated Christmas and New Year public holidays for 2021, as these days fall on a weekend. Circular is applicable to Agenda for Change staff and sets out the alternative days but also the principles of payment where an employee does/does not work the weekend days.
