SECTION 2.2<br />

Holidays<br />

Holidays<br />

i.<br />

Our annual leave year runs from 1 January <strong>to</strong> 31 December.<br />

Full time <strong>staff</strong> are entitled <strong>to</strong> 33 days holiday per year, which includes <strong>the</strong><br />

8 days Public Holidays listed below. Your entitlement <strong>to</strong> paid holiday will<br />

be determined by <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> hours or days per week that you are<br />

contracted <strong>to</strong> work. Your entitlement is detailed in your Statement <strong>of</strong> Main<br />

Terms and Conditions. Part-time <strong>staff</strong> will receive <strong>the</strong> same holiday<br />

entitlement as <strong>the</strong>ir full-time counterparts, calculated pro rata on <strong>the</strong> hours<br />

that are worked compared <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> hours worked by full-time <strong>staff</strong>.<br />

Your entitlement includes Public Holidays, which are:<br />

New Year's Day<br />

Good Friday<br />

Easter Monday<br />

May Day<br />

Spring Bank Holiday<br />

August Bank Holiday<br />

Christmas Day<br />

Boxing Day<br />

You may, however, sometimes be required <strong>to</strong> work on Public Holidays.<br />

ii.<br />

iii.<br />

The <strong>College</strong> may specify <strong>the</strong> dates on which up <strong>to</strong> 12 days <strong>of</strong> your entitlement<br />

must be taken in any given holiday year. Advance notification <strong>of</strong> any such<br />

dates will be given <strong>to</strong> you in writing as near <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year as<br />

is practical.<br />

If you start or leave our employment during <strong>the</strong> course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> holiday year,<br />

your holiday entitlement will be calculated on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> an annual<br />

entitlement <strong>of</strong> 33 days. Thus, if you work for six months <strong>of</strong> one year, your<br />

entitlement would be 16.5 days, irrespective <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> Public<br />

Holidays that actually occur in that six-month period.<br />
