Equality Statement
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) aims to design and implement policy
documents that meet the diverse needs of our service, population and workforce,
ensuring that none are placed at a disadvantage over others.
It takes into account the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and promotes equal
opportunities for all.
4
This document has been assessed to ensure that no one receives less favourable
treatment on the protected characteristics of their age, disability, sex (gender),
gender reassignment, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion
or belief, pregnancy and maternity.
In carrying out its functions, LPT must have due regard to the different needs of
different protected equality groups in their area.
This applies to all the activities for which LPT is responsible, including policy
development and review.
Due Regard
LPT must have due regard to the aims of eliminating discrimination and promoting
equality when policies are being developed. Information about due regard can be
found on the Equality page on e-source and/or by contacting the LPT Equalities
Team.

Definitions that apply to this Policy
The Trust Leicestershire Partnership Trust
Agenda For Change The NHS grading and pay system for all NHS staff except
doctors, dentists, and some senior managers.
Annual Leave Amount of leave that an employer grants an employee on an

annual basis.
Annual Leave Year The period of time with which annual leave runs from and to
and should be taken within this period.
The annual leave year for all LPT employees runs from 01
April to the following 31 March.
General Public A statutory holiday

Holidays
Due Regard Having due regard for advancing equality involves:

• Removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by
people due to their protected characteristics.
• Taking steps to meet the needs of people from
protected groups where these are different from the
needs of other people.
• Encouraging people from protected groups to
participate in public life or in other activities where
their participation is disproportionately low
Pro Rata In proportion, according to a factor that can be calculated
exactly.
The trust policy is to calculate all paid leave entitlements in
hours not days for all employees regardless of whether

employees work full-time or part time. This is to ensure
equity between all, so that employees working variable
hours/shifts do not receive either more or less paid leave
than colleagues who work a fixed pattern.

1.0 Purpose of the Policy
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to provide a uniform and equitable approach to the
calculation, application and management of paid annual leave and paid general
public holiday entitlements in line with the provisions set out under ‘Agenda for
Change’ that is clear to all. This will ensure that calculation, application and
management of annual leave and general public holidays is undertaken in a fair,
equal and consistent approach.
1.2 Adherence to this policy is mandatory and applies to all staff except bank
employees and medical and dental employees, for whom separate provisions
apply.
2.0 Summary
2.1 This policy aims to ensure that all staff are aware of how annual leave and
general public holidays are calculated, applied in a work setting and
managed.
2.2 The annual leave entitlement is set out in the Agenda for Change NHS Terms
and Conditions of Service handbook (available on www.nhsemployers.org/)
and is inclusive of the statutory entitlement laid down in the Working Time
Regulations.
2.3 This policy will be available on the Trust intranet to ensure that the current
version is available.
3.0 Introduction
3.1 Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust recognises that annual leave is an

important part of an employees work-life balance.
3.2 This policy outlines the entitlement to annual leave for staff in Agenda for
Change terms and conditions, together with information on how to manage the
use of annual leave from an individual employee and managerial perspective.
3.3 The approval of annual leave is dependent upon the needs of the service.
Employees must apply for their annual leave and wait for approval from the line
manager. Line managers must consider all annual leave requests in line with
the needs of the service before they approve the leave. This is to ensure that
the management of annual leave is undertaken in a fair, equal and consistent
approach.
3.4 Local guidelines will be managed at local level in services; however they must
also comply with the requirements of this policy.
3.5 This policy applies to all staff under Agenda for Change terms and conditions,
except bank employees and medical and dental employees, for whom separate
provisions apply.
Page 7
4.0 Duties within the Organisation
• The Trust Board has a legal responsibility for Trust policies and
for ensuring that they are carried out effectively.
• Trust Board Sub-committees have the responsibility for ratifying

policies and protocols.
4.3 Directors and Heads of Service are responsible for:
4.4 Ensuring that comprehensive arrangements are in place regarding adherence

to this policy and how this policy is applied within their own department.
4.5 Ensuring that team managers and other management staff are given clear
instruction about the policy arrangements so that they in turn can instruct
staff under their direction. These arrangements will include:
• Distributing information about the policy in a timely manner throughout

the Directorate/Department or Service to a distribution list which will be
agreed in advance with local managers.
• Ensuring all staff has access to the up to date policy, either through
the intranet, or if policy manuals are maintained that the resources
are in place to ensure these are updated as required.
• Maintaining a system for recording that the policy has been distributed
and received by staff within the department/service and for having
these records available for inspection upon request for audit purposes.
4.6 Managers and Team leaders are responsible for:
• Management will be responsible for the calculation, consistent

application and management of annual leave and general
public holidays of staff in their areas.
• Monitor their employee’s annual leave to ensure and encourage their

staff take annual leave entitlement during the current leave year, this
is to ensure the Health and Safety of the staff.
• To provide sufficient opportunities for staff to be able to take their

entire annual leave provision within the current annual leave year.
• To ensure all leave is appropriately recorded.
• Ensure that the policy is followed and understood as appropriate to

each staff member’s role and function. This information must be given
to all new staff on induction. It is the responsibility of local managers
and team leaders to have in place a local induction that includes this
policy.
• Ensure that their staff know how and where to access the
current version of this policy; via intranet.
Page 8
• Be responsible for identifying leave entitlement and any
amendments due to change of contracted hours and reckonable
service.
4.7 Responsibility of Staff
4.8 All staff (including seconded staff) should be aware that despite the
above responsibilities of senior staff, every member of staff has an
individual responsibility to ensure that they:
• Know where to locate this policy when necessary

• Adhere to this policy at all times
• Be mindful of their own health and safety and ensure annual leave
is evenly distributed throughout the leave year.
• To avoid using the majority of annual leave towards the end of the
leave year (unless there is prior agreement with their manager),
placing undue pressure on the service.
• To comply with the local guidelines for booking annual leave
and recording accurately
• Inform their manager (or HR at appointment) if they have NHS
reckonable service years that will impact on their annual leave
entitlement, providing proof as required.
4.9 Human Resources
4.10 Human Resources will be responsible for the calculation of annual leave and
general public holidays for new appointments and providing consistent advice
and guidance on the calculation, application and management of annual
leave and general public holidays.
5.0 Annual Leave Year
5.1 The annual leave year for all LPT employees runs from 01 April to the
following 31 March.
6.0 Exclusions
6.1 This policy is not applicable to ‘bank’ staff and medical and dental employees,
for who separate provisions apply.
7.0 Entitlement: Annual Leave
7.1 Entitlement for complete years:
The basic paid annual leave provisions under ‘Agenda for Change’ in a full
annual leave year for an employee are set out below.
Length of service Annual Leave + General Public

Holidays
On appointment 202.5 hours (27 days) + 60 hours (8 days)
After 5 years’ service 217.5 hours (29 days) + 60 hours (8 days)
After 10 years’ service 247.5 hours (33 days) + 60 hours (8 days)
Page 9
7.2 The trust policy is to calculate all paid leave entitlements in hours not days for
all employees regardless of whether employees work full-time or part time.
This is to ensure equity between all, so that employees working variable
hours/shifts do not receive either more or less paid leave than colleagues who
work a fixed pattern.
7.3 As a governing principle, the number of hours taken as paid leave will equal
the number of hours the employee would otherwise have worked.
7.4 Paid annual leave entitlements for all employees in relation to basic contracted
working hours are set out in table 2. Hours have been rounded up to the
nearest 0.5 decimal (i.e. to the nearest ½ hour).
7.5 In addition to paid annual leave entitlements, employees are entitled to 8 paid
general public holidays (see table above). In the case of all part time
employees this entitlement is pro rata to the full time allowance of 8, based on
their basic weekly contracted hours worked. In this way, all employees have a
fair and equitable, static entitlement rather than eligibility based solely on the
normal days of work which would result in some part time employees never
receiving the benefit of Bank Holidays unless they fall on their normal days of
work.
7.6 Similarly, this calculation based on the number of basic weekly contracted
hours removes any potential for inequity in the case of staff whose working
days vary. Table’s 3a-h contains the Bank Holiday entitlement for all staff per
General Public Holiday and for a full leave year. Further details pertaining to
General Public Holidays are contained in paragraph 8.
7.7 To calculate an employee’s total leave entitlement inclusive of General Public

Holidays, Tables 2 and the relevant table from 3a-h should be added together.
They are shown separately so that the composition of an employee’s full
entitlement is clear.
7.8 Calculation of Reckonable service
7.9 An employee’s continuous previous service with a NHS employer will count as
reckonable service in respect of annual leave.
7.10 In addition, aggregated NHS service, i.e. any period of time that has been
worked in the NHS, regardless of whether or not there has been a break in
service, will count as reckonable service for annual leave.
7.11 For purposes of aggregated service, time spent in a highly relevant role in
organisations other than the NHS i.e. roles that are comparable in their
function and qualification to the role for which they have applied in the trust,
may at the discretion of the Manager (after seeking HR advice), be counted as
aggregated service, e.g. Social Services, Independent Practitioners (General
Practitioners, Dentists, Optometrists and Pharmacists) and their staff. Locum
agency and bank service will not count.
Page 10
7.12 Determining the length of Reckonable Service
In order to have previous service, as detailed above, regarded as reckonable

service, staff will need to provide formal documentary evidence of any
relevant, reckonable service. Human Resources will verify this evidence.
7.13 Entitlement on joining
7.14 All new members of staff will be entitled to paid annual leave in the year of
joining the Trust, on a pro-rata basis.
7.15 Entitlement in the first year is dependent on the number of full complete
calendar weeks worked after the date of joining and before the end of the
annual leave year. A full complete calendar week commences from the
Monday to the following Sunday, inclusive. Employees who commence part
way through a week will have their annual leave calculated from the following
Monday.
7.16 Total annual leave entitlement for part years can be calculated using Tables 2
+ 3a-h but this must be pro rata to the number of weeks remaining in the leave
year from the date of joining. Paid annual leave is calculated based on 1/52 of
the full year entitlement for each complete calendar week (subject to the terms
of the paragraph above).
7.17 The General Public Holiday’s hour’s entitlement will be based on the number
of general public Holidays remaining in the current leave year from the date of
joining.
Example:
th
A member of staff works 25 hours per week, their joining date is 24 August
2005 and they are new to the NHS. Their leave entitlement for a full leave year
th
would be 135 hours (per Table 2). As they started on 24 August 2005, they
are entitled to 18 weeks of annual leave i.e. 18/52ths of 135 hours which is
46.7 = 47 hours annual leave. General Public Holiday hours must be added to
this (using the relevant table from Tables 3a -h. This total will vary depending
on the number of General Public Holidays remaining in the current leave year.
For the purposes of this example, assume that there are 4 General Public
Holidays remaining in the leave year. Therefore, using Table 3e, if weekly
basic hours are 25 then 4 General Public Holidays x 5 hours per General
Public Holidays = 20 hours. So the total leave entitlement for the part leave
st
year will be 47hrs +20hrs = 67 hours to be taken by the 31 December.
7.18 Entitlement on changing Contracted Hours
7.19 Where employees change their contracted hours, this will result in a re-
calculation of their annual leave entitlement based on completed weeks on the
new and the old contracted hours to give the full year entitlement.
Page 11
Example:
A member of staff has less than 5 years’ service & works 37.5 hours from 05
January 2009 and 25 hours w.e.f. 24 August 2009
1. Calculate annual leave and bank holiday entitlement based on 37.5 hours for
05 January 2009 – 23 August 2009.
Full annual leave entitlement = 202.5 hours (table 2)

General Public Holidays occurring = 4 = 30 hours (table
3e) Annual leave 33/52 x 202.5 = 128.5 hours
Total: 128.5 + 30 = 158.5 hours
2. Calculate annual leave and bank holiday entitlement based on 25 hours for
24 August 2009 to end of year.
Full annual leave entitlement = 135 hours (table 2)

General Public Holidays occurring = 3 = 15 hours (table 3f)
Annual leave = 19/52 x 135 = 49 hours
Total: 49 + 15 = 64 hours
Total leave for year = 64 + 158.5 = 222.5 hours
8.0 Entitlement: General Public Holidays (‘Bank Holidays’)
8.1 A General Public Holiday shall be defined as a period of normal duty that starts
within the period of 24 hours from midnight to midnight.
8.2 Employees will be entitled to all paid General Public Holidays (Bank Holidays)
in the leave Year. All part time staff are entitled to the Bank Holidays pro rata
to the full time allowance.
The 8 General Public Holidays in the year are:
Christmas Day Boxing Day New Year’s Day

Good Friday Easter Monday May Day
Spring Bank Holiday August Bank Holiday
8.3 All employees are entitled to the above 8 paid General Public Holidays in the
leave year (NB subject to paragraph 7.13). In the case of part time staff, this
will be a proportionate number of General Public Holiday hours based on their
basic weekly contracted hours.
8.4 Tables 3a-h identifies the actual entitlement in hours pro rata per General
Public Holiday and for the total leave year. The total leave entitlement is
calculated by adding their annual leave entitlement per Table 2 to the
appropriate Bank Holiday hour’s entitlement in Tables 3a-h.
8.5 On each and every occasion an employee takes paid time off on a General
Public Holiday as part of their basic week, the appropriate deduction of their
Page 12
normal basic working hours for that day will be made from their total leave
entitlement.
8.6 Where operationally possible and subject to mutual agreement, an employee

may change their days of working during a General Public Holiday week and
therefore retain their leave entitlement in respect of the General Public
Holiday. This can then be taken as time off at another time. Under these
circumstances, General Public Holidays will not attract enhancements.
Example: Employee A is not required to work on May Bank Holiday (Monday).

They are entitled to a full year’s leave allowance. Their normal contracted
hours of work are 18 per week. They would normally work 6 hours on a
Monday and they have less than 5 years’ service. So, using the above
principle, 6 hours will be deducted from their total entitlement of 126 hours
(Tables 2+3a).
Example: Employee B works 30 hours per week. They are entitled to a full
year’s leave allowance. They would normally work 7.5 hours on a Monday and
have over 10 years’ service. They are required to work on May Bank Holiday
so their leave entitlement remains intact as this day has not been taken off as
leave, under these circumstances the Bank Holiday will attract enhancements.
They are not required to work on August Bank Holiday so 7.5 hours will be
deducted from their total leave entitlement of 246 hours (Tables 2+3a).
8.7 It is suggested, in the case of employees who are never required to work on
any General Public Holidays that fall on a normal working day, that at the
beginning of the leave year, Managers and staff may find it helpful to make the
appropriate total General Public Holidays deduction (using Table 4). Clearly,
this deduction cannot be made if the employees’ working days vary.
8.8 It is possible that some part time employees (particularly if they work ‘fixed’
days including Mondays) could be rostered to ‘work’ on more general public
holidays than is allowed for under their general public holiday’s hour’s
entitlement. Where this is the case and when the department would normally
close, the following options are available and should be agreed with their
manager at the commencement of each leave year (where possible) -
a) Use hours out of their total paid leave entitlement to take the general
public holiday as paid leave; or
b) Use time accrued through flexitime to take the general public holiday as
paid leave; or
c) To not work the general public holiday and to work instead another day in
the same week. Alternatively, this ‘additional’ day may be worked within
four weeks following the general public holiday by agreement and subject
to trust/service needs; or
d) Agree with their manager which general public holidays they wish to take
as paid leave in the year and which will be taken as unpaid leave.
Page 13
8.9 To ensure flexibility and help to achieve work-life balance, the options above
can be changed at the start of each leave year by agreement with the line
manager.
8.10 There will be some years when as many as 10 or as few as 6 paid general
public holidays fall within the leave year, because the Easter holidays can fall
in March or April. When this occurs no adjustments will be made to the
calculation of paid leave entitlements, since overall entitlements will ‘balance
out’ between years. Each year will be treated as if 8 general public holidays fell
within it. This arrangement has no impact when leave relating to Easter is
actually taken but will be deducted from the leave year entitlement to which it
applies.
8.11 The Agenda for Change terms and conditions of service provide for all
employees, including part time workers, required to work or be on-call on a
general public holiday to receive the appropriate payment for the duties
undertaken and equivalent time to be taken off in lieu at plain time rates. All
employees within the trust (excluding those in section 6 for whom separate
provisions apply) already have their general public holiday entitlement for the
year incorporated into their total leave entitlement for the year. This means that
if employees are required to work on a bank holiday they have already been
allocated the number of hours needed to take time off in lieu at a later date.
These hours when taken should be deducted from the total leave entitlement
for the year and recorded on the leave record card in the normal way.
8.12 The trust leave record card can be found in Appendix 4.
9.0 Carry Over of Leave
9.1 The Trust expects that all employees will be provided with the opportunity to
take all of their annual leave within the annual leave year and it is expected
that all leave will be taken.
9.2 Employees do not have a right to carry annual leave over from one leave year
to the next. Where, exceptionally, staff have been explicitly prevented from
taking their leave due to service demands or for planned extended leave in the
following year carry over up to a maximum of one working week, expressed in
terms of contracted hours, and may be carried forward with the approval of the
Head of Service.
9.3 A Carry Over of Leave request form is attached as Appendix 5.
9.4 Payment will not be made in lieu of annual leave not taken other than on
termination of employment.
10.0 Sickness occurring during Annual Leave or General Public Holidays
10.1 If an employee falls sick whilst on previously agreed or nominated annual

leave, then the period covered will be treated as sick leave, allowing the
employee to take the annual leave another time. Under these circumstances,
Page 14
the Trust will require a statement of fitness to work (or ‘fit note), employees
cannot self-certificate.
10.2 In accordance with Agenda for Change Terms and Conditions, employees will
not be entitled to an additional day off if sick on a General Public Holiday that
they would otherwise have been required to work as part of their basic week.
Under these circumstances, employees will not be paid General Public
Holiday enhancements. Hours must be deducted from overall entitlement for
General Public Holidays that would have been worked during a period of sick
leave.
11.0 Accrual of Annual Leave and General Public Holidays
11.1 Maternity/Paternity/Adoption/Parental Leave
11.2 Employees may be entitled to annual leave and general public holidays
during maternity/paternity/adoption and Parental leave. Please refer to the
Maternity, Paternity, Adoption and Parental Leave Policy and Procedure for
further details.
11.3 Sickness absence
11.4 Employees on long term sick leave should ensure that they plan how they will
take their accrued annual leave to ensure that it is all taken within the leave
year. This may mean that all or a proportion of it should be taken whilst on
sick leave. From a statutory perspective a minimum of 28 days annual leave
(including bank holidays) must be taken each financial year (pro-rated for
part time staff). If due to sickness a member of staff has been unable to take
st
the minimum 28 days statutory leave by 31 March, the difference between
28 days and leave already taken may be carried over into the next leave
year. Guidance can be sought from your HR Advisor. Please refer to
Appendix 10 of the Management of Ill Health Policy and Procedure for further
details.
11.5 Employees will not be entitled to reclaim a statutory/public holiday if they are
sick on that day.
12.0 Other forms of leave/ Unpaid Leave
12.1 In normal circumstances paid annual leave should be exhausted prior to any
unpaid leave being granted.
12.2 Other forms of leave are also available dependent on the circumstances.
Please refer to the Special Leave Policy for further details.
13.0 Duration of Annual Leave
13.1 Annual leave should normally be taken in periods of not less than ½ a working
day or ½ working shift, however line managers can be flexible to grant leave
less than a ½ working shift.
13.2 In normal circumstances the maximum duration of any one period of annual
leave will be 2 working weeks.
Page 15
13.3 A longer period may be granted subject to mutual agreement.
13 .4 A s a governing principle, t he number of hours taken as paid leave will

equal t he number of hours t he employee would ot herwise have worked.
14.0 Entitlement on Leaving
14.1 Employees who leave the Trust will receive 1/52th of their annual leave
entitlement per Table 2 for each completed week worked up to the date of
leaving, less any annual leave taken plus the benefit of any outstanding Bank
Holiday hours for Bank Holidays that have occurred in the leave year prior to
the date of leaving (Table 4).
14.2 Where total leave taken is less than the earned total leave entitlement an
appropriate payment will be made in the final salary by extending the date of
termination.
14.3 Where total leave taken exceeds the earned total leave entitlement an
appropriate deduction will be made from the final salary.
14.4 Where an employee’s contract of employment is terminated on grounds of

ill health, they will be paid in lieu for any outstanding accrued annual leave.
15.0 Training needs
15.1 There is no training requirement identified within this policy
16.0 Monitoring Compliance and Effectiveness
Human Resources will ensure that a process is undertaken to monitor the

compliance and effectiveness of this policy and procedure. This will include:
