Annual Leave

You are advised to take as much outstanding leave as possible before the start of your leave, however you should discuss your leave arrangements with your line manager and clarify and record the agreement made with them.

As a minimum, you are required to take the annual leave you have accrued up to the date you commence your leave (with the exception of paternity/partner leave due to its length), eg if you wish to commence your leave on 1 February, you should have taken 1/12th of your leave entitlement. However, your manager may agree to allow you to take more than the period accrued up to the start of your leave.
