Death During ServiceWhere an employee dies in service, an allowance equivalent to the balance ofAnnual Leave entitlement on the date of death calculated on the above pro-ratabasis, will be paid to the employee’s Estate. No deduction from the final salaryshould be made in respect of Annual Leave taken in excess of entitlement onthe date of death.8. General Public Holidays (“Bank Holidays”)8.1 Full-time employees are entitled to all General Public Holidays which fall withinthe Leave year. The General Public Holidays in the year are: New Year’s Day,Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, August BankHoliday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day.8.2 Part-time employees’ entitlement is calculated on a pro-rata basis. See table atAppendix 2.8.3 There will be some Annual Leave years where more or fewer than eight GeneralPublic Holidays fall within the Leave year because the Easter holidays can be inMarch or April. This will affect any calculations for employees whose GeneralPublic Holiday entitlement is pro rata-ed e.g. part-timers, term-time only workers.See table at Appendix 28.4 In the event that staff may be required to work (or be on-call) on a GeneralPublic Holiday, they would be entitled to equivalent time to be taken off in lieu atplain time rates, in addition to any appropriate payment for the duties actuallyundertaken.8.5 Annual leave for anyone working shifts within the NHS is calculated by addingGeneral Public Holidays to Annual Leave entitlement to produce a total Leaveentitlement to facilitate rostering of time off. In such a case, General PublicHolidays are treated as normal working days – see examples below:Example 1 - shift worker works on a rostered General Public HolidayThey are not entitled to a day off in lieu as it has already been accounted for intheir total Annual Leave entitlement.Example 2 – shift worker is rostered to have a day off on a General PublicHolidayThis is not counted as a day of Annual Leave, just a normal day offExample 3 – shift worker is on Annual Leave on a General Public HolidayThis is counted as a day of Annual Leave – part of the total entitlementAppropriate payment for duties would be made.8.6 For night staff the public holiday will be identified by the start of the shift. Forexample, if Monday is a bank holiday, a night shift which starts on Sunday nightcounts as a normal working day for the whole of the shift.6
