During Core Leave, employees must be physically away from their workplace and<br />

actively discouraged from participating in work-related activities from a remote<br />

location e.g. accessing Blackberrys. Line managers must not place employees under<br />

duress <strong>to</strong> respond <strong>to</strong> work-related matters during Core Leave and it is acceptable for an<br />

employee not <strong>to</strong> undertake any work-related activity during this period.<br />

Employees may attend training courses, conferences or conventions during their Core<br />

Leave as long as the events are not held on <strong>HSBC</strong> Group premises. Such events must<br />

not account for more that 50% of the Core Leave period.<br />

Should it be necessary <strong>to</strong> attend a course, conference or convention within the Core<br />

Leave period, the corresponding number of days would be available <strong>to</strong> be taken as<br />

Holiday at a future agreed time<br />

Minimum Core Leave is calculated as below:<br />

Category<br />

Full time employees with 20 or more<br />

days annual leave allowances<br />

Part time employees<br />

Minimum Core Leave<br />

10 working days, which may include<br />

<strong>Bank</strong> and Public Holidays that fall on<br />

normal working days.<br />

Pro rata the above calculations i.e. an<br />

employee working 3 days a week with an<br />

annual leave allowance of 12 days (full<br />

time equivalent allowance of 20 days),<br />

should take a minimum core leave of 6<br />

working days (i.e. two working weeks of<br />

3 days a week).<br />

Leave arrangements for employees whose working pattern exceeds 7 hours per day, or<br />

who are working a recognised shift pattern, may vary. These arrangements will be<br />

advised <strong>to</strong> you at the time of introduction of the working pattern.<br />

(i) Clerical Grades<br />

Clerical Grades other than S03-S05 are entitled <strong>to</strong> 25 working days paid leave in each<br />

full holiday year worked.<br />

Clerical Grades S03-S05:<br />

Completed years of service<br />

Paid leave (working days)<br />

Under 3: 21<br />

3 and over: 23<br />

5 and over: 25<br />

10 and over: 26<br />

20 and over: 27<br />

Different arrangements may apply where holiday entitlement has been red-circled.<br />

Additional leave entitlement based on years of service will be given in the holiday year<br />

in which the relevant length of service is achieved.<br />
