Holiday leave is calculated based on the number of months you will work in the leave year. </p> <h5>Part-time staff</h5> <p>Part-time staff are entitled to the same rights as full time staff on a pro rata basis. In order to ensure a consistent and fair approach to Holiday Leave, part-time staff will be given a pro-rata holiday leave entitlement of the full time equivalent based on the total number of hours that they work per week.</p> <p>The entitlement will be quoted in either days or hours dependent upon the member of staff’s working pattern. Part-time staff will be expected to deduct the appropriate number of days or hours from their entitlement for each holiday leave day taken in the same way that full time staff do.</p> <p>Your available holiday leave can be viewed by <a title="TeamSeer opens in a new window" href="https://www.teamseer.com/secure.php?lev=1&page=login&companyId=2421&mode=saml2" target="_blank">logging into the availability and absence management system, TeamSeer</a>. </p> <h5>Leaving the College</h5> <p>For staff leaving the College, holiday leave is calculated based on the number of months you will work or have worked in the leave year.</p> <p>Staff should take any outstanding leave during their notice period. Where circumstances prevent leave from being taken, staff will receive pay in lieu, subject to PAYE and NI deductions.</p> <p>If staff have exceeded their entitlement, the College will deduct an equivalent number of days’ pay from any pay due on the termination of employment, or will otherwise seek to recover the money owed after employment has ended.</p> <h5>Carrying over holiday leave</h5> <p>Leave is normally taken within the leave year. However, with prior agreement with your line manager, staff may be permitted to <strong>carry up to 5 days’ leave</strong> (pro rata for part-time staff) forward into the next leave year. This rule also applies when staff have been absent during the leave year. No payment will be made in lieu of leave not being taken.</p> </div> </section><!-- .content --><section id='tabpanel_706158' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='tab_706158' class='tabs-panel js-tabs-panel' tabindex='0'> <div class='accordion-trigger js-accordion-trigger' aria-controls='tabpanel_706158' tabindex='0'> Mandatory leave <svg role='img' aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' class='icon icon--m'><use xlink:href='/assets/website/images/svg/icons.svg#chevron-down'></use></svg> </div> <div class='content' aria-hidden='false'> <p><span>The mandatory leave entitlement, for staff who are employed on standard terms & conditions linked to a Job Family, is 14 or 15 days.
